Abstract

An embedded antenna used in mobile phone includes a lower and a higher frequency portions connecting with the lower frequency portion via a first connecting portion. The lower frequency portion is a bended structure in planar inverted F antenna (PIFA) shape. The higher frequency portion is a loop antenna working in two different higher frequencies, including a first higher frequency portion and a second higher frequency portion connecting with the first one via a second connecting portion. The first connecting portion defines a feeding portion and a grounding portion. The second higher frequency portion defines another grounding portion. An electric current is formed between the first and the second higher frequency portions and can heighten the gain and the frequency band of the antenna. Additionally, a loudspeaker is disposed in a receiving space formed between the lower and higher frequency portions to save space with lowest influence to the antenna.

Claims

1. An antenna used inside mobile phone, comprising:

a lower frequency portion;

a higher frequency portion of loop antenna structure, working in two different higher frequencies; and

a first connecting portion defining a grounding portion and a feeding portion, connecting the lower and higher frequency portions,

wherein

said higher frequency portion comprises a first higher frequency portion and a second higher frequency portion connecting with said first higher frequency portion via a second connecting portion,

said second higher frequency portion defines a second grounding portion, and

a receiving space is formed between said second higher frequency portion and the lower frequency portion for receiving a loudspeaker herein.

7. The antenna as claimed in claim 1, wherein the equivalent length of said lower frequency portion matches with a quarter of the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave that the lower frequency portion works in;

and said lower frequency portion is suitable for GSM system and works in 900 MHz.

8. The antenna as claimed in claim 1, wherein the higher frequency portion is suitable for DCS/PCS system and works in 1800/1900 MHz.

2. The antenna clamed as in clam 1, wherein said second connecting portion connects a back portion of said first and second higher frequency portions;

a long and narrow gap is formed between said first and second higher frequency portions in front of said second connecting portion for adjusting the antenna specification; and

said second grounding portion is formed in the front of said second higher frequency portion.

3. The antenna clamed as in clam 1, wherein said lower frequency portion is in planar inverted F antenna shape, comprising a first side plate, and a second side plate stretching backwardly from one end of the first side plate.

4. The antenna clamed as in clam 3, wherein said higher frequency portion is located behind said first side plate of said lower frequency portion;

and an opening in U shape is formed on right of said first connecting portion located between said first side plate and said first higher frequency portion.

5. The antenna clamed as in clam 3, wherein said receiving space is formed between said first and second side plate and said second higher frequency portion.

6. The antenna as claimed in claim 5, wherein a front portion of a right edge of said second higher frequency portion is in concave shape matching with a shape of said loudspeaker;

and a back portion of said right edge of said second higher frequency portion protrudes to the right to form an obtuse angle.

9. An antenna used inside mobile phone, comprising:

a lower frequency portion;

a higher frequency portion of loop antenna structure, working in two different higher frequencies; and

a first connecting portion defining a grounding portion and a feeding portion in L shape with a height for adjusting the antenna specification, wherein

said higher frequency portion comprises a first higher frequency portion and a second higher frequency portion,

said first connecting portion connecting said lower frequency portion and said first higher frequency portion and located therebetween, said first higher frequency portion defining an opening of U shape on the right thereof for adjusting antenna specification,

between said second higher frequency portion and said lower frequency portion, said second higher frequency portion defines a second grounding portion in L shape with a height for adjusting the antenna specification,

a second connecting portion connecting said first and second higher frequency portions,

a receiving space formed between said second higher frequency portion and the lower frequency portion for receiving a loudspeaker herein.

15. The antenna as claimed in claim 9, wherein the equivalent length of said lower frequency portion matches with a quarter of the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave that the lower frequency portion works in;

and said lower frequency portion is suitable for GSM system and works in 900 MHz.

16. The antenna as claimed in claim 9, wherein the higher frequency portion is suitable for DCS/PCS system and works in 1800/1900 MHz.

10. The antenna clamed as in clam 9, wherein said second connecting portion connects a back portion of said first and second higher frequency portions;

a long and narrow gap is formed between said first and second higher frequency portions in front of said second connecting portion for adjusting the antenna specification; and

said second grounding portion is formed in the front of said second higher frequency portion.

11. The antenna clamed as in clam 9, wherein said lower frequency portion is in planar inverted F antenna shape, comprising a first side plate, and a second side plate stretching backwardly from one end of the first side plate.

12. The antenna clamed as in clam 11, wherein said higher frequency portion located behind said first side plate of said lower frequency portion;

and said opening in U shape is formed on right of said first connecting portion located between said first side plate and said first higher frequency portion.

13. The antenna clamed as in clam 11, wherein said receiving space is formed between said first and second side plate and said second higher frequency portion.

14. The antenna as claimed in claim 13, wherein a front portion of a right edge of said second higher frequency portion is in concave shape matching with a shape of said loudspeaker;

and a back portion of said right edge of said second higher frequency portion protrudes to the right to form an obtuse angle.
