Background technique

An antenna is an indispensable component in a communication system. The performance of an antenna is directly related to the quality of the received and transmitted signals. The size of today's smart terminals is moving toward a thinner and smaller trend, so the size of the built-in antenna of the terminal needs to be smaller and smaller. The traditional PIFA (Planar Inverted-F Antenna) requires the antenna to have a height of at least 7 mm. However, the wider the frequency band that the antenna needs to support, the larger the height and area of the antenna. For a monopole antenna, the antenna is required to have a certain clearance area, and the wider the antenna frequency band, the larger the clearance area of the antenna is required. The conventional antennas are attached to the casing in the form of FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) or steel sheets, and then connected to the main board through reeds or PIN pins to form a passage, but this method requires a shell. The body structure leaves enough area for the antenna. At the same time, in order to obtain good radiation performance of the antenna, it is necessary to use the housing area as far as possible from the main board to install the antenna, which increases the space occupied by the antenna and causes the terminal size to increase.

Further, the antenna further includes another antenna, and the other antenna is disposed on the housing of the terminal.

Wherein, the extension of the support plate is provided with an open cavity, and one side of the open cavity is provided with another cavity, and the radiator is disposed in the cavity of the opening.

Wherein, the cavity of the opening is rectangular.

Wherein, the antenna radiation frequency is energy in a wavelength band of 1710 Mhz to 2200 Mhz.
