Abstract

A wireless communication device includes a metal cover and an antenna. The metal cover is formed with a slot. The antenna is disposed in the metal cover for resonating a radio-frequency signal via the slot, and includes a feed terminal, a radiator and a ground. The feed terminal is used for feeding the radio-frequency signal. The radiator includes a first arm electrically connected to the feed terminal and extended from the feed terminal along a first direction, and a second arm electrically connected to the first arm and extended from the first arm along a second direction, wherein the second arm is partially overlapped with a first edge of the slot.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A wireless communication device, comprising:
a metal cover that is capable of a first radiator formed with a slot; and
an antenna disposed in the metal cover for resonating a radio-frequency signal via the slot, comprising:
a feed terminal for feeding the radio-frequency signal;
a second radiator configured to feed the radio-frequency signal to the first radiator via inducing a coupling effect between the second radiator and the slot, and comprising a first arm electrically connected to the feed terminal and extended from the feed terminal along a first direction, and a second arm electrically connected to the first arm and extended from the first arm along a second direction, wherein the second arm is partially overlapped with a first edge of the slot and a length of the second arm is smaller than a length of the slot along the second direction; and
a ground, wherein the feed terminal is coupled between the ground and the second radiator;

wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction;
wherein the antenna further comprises a third arm electrically connected to the first and second arms and extended from wherein the first and second arms are connected along the second direction;
wherein the third arm is aligned with the second arm along the second direction, the second radiator has a T-shape, and the second arm and the third arm are only overlapped with the first edge of the slot.

2. The wireless communication device of claim 1 , wherein the length of the slot is substantially a half wavelength of a first signal component of the radio-frequency signal.

3. The wireless communication device of claim 2 , wherein a width of the slot is substantially smaller than 1/25 wavelength of the first signal component of the radio-frequency signal.

4. The wireless communication device of claim 2 , wherein a sum of the lengths of the first and second arms is substantially a quarter wavelength of a second signal component of the radio-frequency signal.

5. The wireless communication device of claim 2 , wherein a first distance is between a third edge of the slot and the feed terminal, and a half wavelength of a second signal component is substantially a sum of twice the first distance and the width of the slot.

6. The wireless communication device of claim 1 , wherein the antenna further comprises a parasitic element partially overlaps with the first edge and a second edge of the slot, and a center of the parasitic element is disposed in a center of the slot.

7. The wireless communication device of claim 1 , wherein a sum of the length of the first arm and a length of the third arm is substantially a quarter wavelength of a third signal component of the radio-frequency signal.

8. A wireless communication device, comprising:
a metal cover that is capable of a first radiator formed with a slot; and
an antenna disposed in the metal cover for resonating a radio-frequency signal via the slot, comprising:
a feed terminal for feeding the radio-frequency signal;
a second radiator configured to feed the radio-frequency signal to the first radiator via inducing a coupling effect between the second radiator and the slot, and comprising a first arm electrically connected to the feed terminal and extended from the feed terminal along a first direction, and a second arm electrically connected to the first arm and extended from the first arm along a second direction, wherein the second arm is partially overlapped with a first edge of the slot and a length of the second arm is smaller than a length of the slot along the second direction; and
a ground, wherein the feed terminal is coupled between the ground and the second radiator;

wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction;
wherein the second arm has a ladder-shape, and a part of the second arm is only overlapped with the first edge of the slot, and another part of the second arm is only overlapped with a second edge of the slot opposite to the first edge of the slot.
