  • Patent number: 10985459
    Abstract: An antenna structure of few components and reduced size which functions by switching between components to achieve radiation in three different frequency bands includes two radiating portions, a feeding portion, a matching circuit, and a first switching circuit. With the first switching circuit closed, current flows along a first radiating portion to activate a first frequency band. A second radiating portion obtains the current from the first switching circuit by coupling with the first radiating portion, to activate a second frequency band. Current in the first radiating portion can activate a third frequency band. With the first switching circuit open, current in the first radiating portion activates radiation in the first frequency band. The second radiating portion can radiate in second frequency band by coupling current from the first radiating portion. Frequency multiplication of the first frequency band can activate the third frequency band.

  • Patent number: 10978795
    Abstract: An antenna structure includes a housing, a feed portion, a ground portion, a first radiator, and a second radiator. The housing includes a first radiating portion and a second radiating portion. The first radiator and the second radiator are both positioned in the housing. When the feed portion feeds current, the current flows through the first radiating portion and is grounded through the ground portion to activate a first operating mode. When the feed portion feeds current, the current is further coupled to the first radiator through the first radiating portion, and the first radiator activates a second operating mode. When the second radiator feeds current, the second radiator activates a third operating mode. When the second radiator feeds current, the current is further coupled to the second radiating portion through the second radiator, and the second radiating portion activates a fourth operating mode.
