Patent number: 11290582Abstract: A mobile terminal includes a display screen, an internal support unit, an antenna module and a rear shell. The display screen cooperates with the rear shell to form a cavity therebetween. The internal support unit is located in the cavity for fixing and supporting components. The antenna module is located in the cavity and at a position close to a sidewall of the rear shell, and is fixed and supported by the internal support unit. The internal support unit defines a through hole to form a unobstructed signal channel between the antenna module and the side of the internal support unit closest to the rear shell, optimizing a performance of the antenna module, realizing a broadband phased array module with better spatial coverage in a limited space, optimizing the direction of the antenna module, improving the gain and coverage of the antenna module, and optimizing the CDF index.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2020Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: AAC Technologies Pte.

Patent number: 11289811Abstract: Various examples and schemes pertaining to a closed-loop antenna with multiple grounding points are described. An apparatus includes an electromagnetic (EM) wave interface device capable of radiating and sensing EM waves. The EM wave interface device includes a feeding port, a first grounding port coupled to an electric ground, and a second grounding port coupled to the electric ground. A first electrically-conductive path connected between the feeding port and the first grounding port forms a closed-loop antenna. A second electrically-conductive path connected between the feeding port and the second grounding port forms a non-radiative closed-loop path. A length of the first electrically-conductive path is greater than a length of the second electrically-conductive path.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2018Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Inventors: Tsung-Ju Wu, Ting-Wei Kang, Chung-Yu Hung
