Abstract

A mobile terminal, including a display screen, a rear cover facing the display screen, a metal frame, and a circuit board; the metal frame and the circuit board are between the display screen and the rear cover and extend along outer profile of the rear cover. The antenna system includes at least one antenna unit. Each antenna unit includes a first gap in the metal frame and a second gap communicated with the first gap; the first gap extends along perimeter of the metal frame to form a strip-like hollow; the second gap extends from the middle of the first gap toward the rear cover until through the metal frame so as to divide the metal frame into a first section and a second section; the first section and the second section are electrically connected with the feeding point to form a first radiator and a second radiator, respectively.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An antenna system, which is applied in a mobile terminal, wherein the mobile terminal comprises a display screen, a rear cover facing the display screen, a metal frame, and a circuit board provided with a feeding point, the metal frame and the circuit board are located between the display screen and the rear cover and respectively extend along an outer profile of the rear cover; the antenna system comprises:
at least one antenna unit, each antenna unit comprising a first gap provided at the metal frame and a second gap communicated with the first gap;
wherein the first gap extends along a perimeter of the metal frame to form a strip-like hollow in the metal frame; the second gap extends from a middle portion of the first gap toward the rear cover until penetrating through the metal frame, so that a portion of the metal frame at an edge of the first gap is divided into a first section and a second section; and the first section and the second section are electrically connected with the feeding point to form a first radiator and a second radiator of the antenna system, respectively;
the circuit board is placed in the first gap; and the first section and the second section are coupled with the circuit board to achieve feeding.

2. The antenna system as described in claim 1 , wherein the circuit board is a flexible printed circuit board.

3. The antenna system as described in claim 1 , wherein the antenna system further comprises a filler, and the filler is filled in the first gap and the second gap; the filler is selected from a group consisting of plastics, glasses, ceramics or light emitting diode (LED) ornaments.

4. The antenna system as described in claim 1 , wherein the metal frame is divided into a handheld portion and a non-handheld portion, and the antenna unit is arranged at the non-handheld portion of the metal frame.

5. The antenna system as described in claim 1 , wherein a plurality of antenna units are provided, and the plurality of antenna units are arranged along the perimeter of the metal frame.

6. The antenna system as described in claim 1 , wherein the second gap is perpendicularly connected with the first gap.

7. The antenna system as described in claim 1 , wherein a length of the first gap is in a range of 45 mm-51 mm, and a width of the first gap is in a range of 1 mm-2.5 mm; a length of the first section is in a range of 18 mm-22 mm, and a length of the second section is in a range of 27 mm-29 mm, a width of the second gap 131 b between the first section and the second section is 0.6 mm-1.2 mm.

8. The antenna system as described in claim 1 , wherein the antenna system covers a working frequency band of 1710 MHz-2690 MHz.

9. A mobile terminal, comprising the antenna system as described in claim 1 .
