At present, the antenna forms commonly used in the electronic product industry include a PCB antenna, an FPC antenna, an LDS antenna, and a slot antenna. Among the four types of antennas, the PCB antenna has an extremely obvious advantage, and firstly, the PCB antenna has the lowest cost due to its mature technology and process, and secondly, the PCB antenna is made of FR4 rigid material, so that the assembly of a production line is most convenient, and the reliability can be ensured. In comparison, the FPC antenna has disadvantages of high cost and inconvenience in assembly; the LDS antenna has more obvious defects, the cost is much higher than that of a PCB antenna, and the process is more complex; due to the special application scene of the slot antenna, the appearance of the product is influenced to a certain extent, and the slot antenna is used less at present.
However, the conventional PCB antenna still has some disadvantages in the ground design and reliability thereof. As shown in fig. 1, the conventional PCB antenna 100 'is grounded by forming a copper leakage region 111' by leaking copper on a substrate 110 ', attaching a conductive cloth 200' or a copper foil 200 'to the copper leakage region 111', and connecting the conductive cloth 200 'or the copper foil 200' with a system ground. Because the Y-direction space of the PCB antenna 100 'is limited, the copper leakage area 111' can only reserve a width of about 2mm to attach the conductive cloth or the copper foil, so the reliability is very poor, and the copper foil or the conductive cloth is easy to fall off. In addition, in the overall design of electronic products, the plane where the system is usually located and the plane of the antenna are generally difficult to be in the same plane, and generally, the planes have certain folding angles, so that the copper foil or the conductive cloth is easy to fall off in the assembling process.
