In order to meet the demand for light and thin communication devices, the mobile communication device antenna is gradually oriented toward miniaturization and multi-band design. Among them, the short-circuit monopole antenna is an antenna component that is often considered for application, but in order to meet the operation of the current communication band. If the full-band operation of LTE/WWAN is covered, the antenna size often needs to be greatly increased, which limits its application. Therefore, it is necessary to propose a mobile communication device whose antenna element can have dual wide-band operation characteristics under a small-sized structure and can satisfy operation in different communication bands.

And the first frequency band is formed by a resonance mode corresponding to the first metal portion, and the second frequency band is formed by a resonance mode corresponding to the second metal portion.

When the antenna element operates in the first frequency band, the second inductance element and the first capacitance element form a high-pass matching circuit to increase the bandwidth of the first frequency band. When the antenna element operates in the second frequency band, the first capacitive element increases the bandwidth of the second frequency band. The first inductive component can reduce the resonant length of the first metal portion in the first frequency band, and has a high reactance value in the second frequency band, and is substantially the same open circuit, so that the first metal portion is not excited, and substantially does not affect The antenna element operates in the second frequency band.

At the same time, the capacitance value of the first capacitive element is higher than the capacitance value of the second capacitive element, so that the day When the line element operates in the first frequency band, the second capacitive element has a high reactance value without substantially affecting the operation of the first frequency band. The inductance value of the first inductive component is higher than the inductance of the second inductive component, so that when the first inductive component operates in the second frequency band, there is a high reactance value, so that the first metal portion is not excited, and substantially does not affect The antenna element operates in the second frequency band.
