The first excitation signal can excite the first radiator 230 to generate the resonance in the first frequency band. The first excitation signal may not cause the first radiator 230 to couple with the second radiator 240. The first current I1 is almost not transmitted in the second radiator 240. The first excitation signal is almost only transmitted through the first radiator 230 into the free space. It may be appreciated that the first excitation signal in the free space may also be transmitted through the first radiator 230 to the first feed source 210 through a reverse process of the above process.

  • As illustrated in FIG. 6, the third excitation signal and a third current I3 may flow from the first feed source 210 through the first filter circuit LC1 into the first radiator 230. The third excitation signal can electromagnetically couple the first radiator 230 with the second radiator 240. The third excitation signal from the first radiator 230 may be coupled with the second radiator 240 through the coupling gap 201 and transmitted in the second radiator 240. Here, the second filter circuit LC2 may prevent the third excitation signal from passing through the second filter circuit LC2, and be a short circuit for the third excitation signal. The third excitation signal may excite the first radiator 230 and at least part of the second radiator 240 to cooperatively generate the resonance in the third frequency band. As such, the third excitation signal and the third current I3 do not flow into the second feed source 220 through the second filter circuit LC2, and the third current I3 may be grounded at a ground terminal (for example, the second terminal a2) of the second filter circuit LC2 and thus a loop is formed. Here, the current from the first feed source 210 flows through the first filter circuit LC1, the first radiator 230, the second radiator 240, and the second filter circuit LC2 and then is grounded. The first radiator 230 and the second radiator 240 may cooperatively transmit the third excitation signal.
