Abstract

A mobile device includes a first nonconductive support member, a second nonconductive support member adjacent to, and lower than, the first nonconductive supporting member, and an antenna structure that includes a first radiating portion disposed on the first nonconductive support member, a second radiating portion disposed on the first nonconductive support member and extending in a direction opposite to the first radiating portion, a feeding element, and a connecting portion disposed on the first nonconductive support member and the second nonconductive support member that couples the first radiating portion and the second radiating portion to each other and to the feeding element, wherein the first nonconductive support member is part of a visible outside edge portion of the mobile device.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A mobile device, comprising:
a first nonconductive support member;
a second nonconductive support member adjacent to, and lower than, the first nonconductive supporting member;
an antenna structure including:
a first radiating portion disposed on the first nonconductive support member;
a second radiating portion disposed on the first nonconductive support member and extending in a direction opposite to the first radiating portion;
a feeding element; and
a connecting portion disposed on the first nonconductive support member and the second nonconductive support member that couples the first radiating portion and the second radiating portion to each other and to the feeding element,

wherein the first nonconductive support member is part of a visible edge portion of the mobile device; and
a display having a display frame surrounding the display, wherein the display frame is disposed in a notch created by a difference in height between the first nonconductive support member and the second nonconductive support member.

2. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the connecting portion comprises a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion, the second connecting portion coupling the first radiating portion and the second radiating portion to each other, and the first connecting portion coupling the feeding element to the second connecting portion.

3. The mobile device of claim 2 , wherein the first connecting portion is disposed on the first nonconductive support member and the second nonconductive support member, and the second connecting portion is disposed on the first nonconductive support member.

4. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the feeding element is disposed on the second nonconductive support member.

5. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the antenna structure is configured to resonate at a low frequency band, a first high frequency band and a second high frequency band.

6. The mobile device of claim 5 , wherein the low frequency band is between 2400 MHz and 2500 MHz, the first high frequency band is between 5000 MHz and 5300 MHZ, and the second high frequency band is between 5300 MHz and 5700 MHz.

7. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein the mobile device is a laptop computer.

8. The mobile device of claim 1 , wherein a stripe-like gap is created between the first radiating portion and at least a portion of the feeding element.

9. The mobile device of claim 1 , further comprising a coaxial cable having an inner conductor and an outer conductor, the inner conductor coupled to a feed point of the feeding element, and the outer conductor coupled to a ground plane of the mobile device.

10. A mobile device, comprising:
a first nonconductive support member;
a second nonconductive support member adjacent to, and lower than, the first nonconductive supporting member;
an antenna structure including:
a first rectangular radiating portion disposed on the first nonconductive support member;
a second rectangular radiating portion disposed on the first nonconductive support member and extending in a direction opposite to the first rectangular radiating portion;
an L-shaped feeding element having a portion that is parallel to the first rectangular radiating portion, and which creates a gap between the portion that is parallel to the first rectangular radiating portion and the first rectangular radiating portion;
a connecting portion disposed on the first nonconductive support member and second nonconductive support member that couples the first rectangular radiating portion and the second rectangular radiating portion to each other and to the feeding element,
wherein the first nonconductive support member is part of a visible edge portion of the mobile device; and

a display having a display frame surrounding the display, wherein the display frame is disposed in a notch created by a difference in height between the first nonconductive support member and the second nonconductive support member.

11. The mobile device of claim 10 , wherein the connecting portion comprises a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion, the second connecting portion coupling the first rectangular radiating portion and the second rectangular radiating portion to each other, and the first connecting portion coupling the feeding element to the second connecting portion.

12. The mobile device of claim 11 , wherein the first connecting portion is disposed on the first nonconductive support member and the second nonconductive support member, and the second connecting portion is disposed on the first nonconductive support member.

13. The mobile device of claim 10 , wherein the feeding element is disposed on the second nonconductive support member.

14. The mobile device of claim 10 , wherein the antenna structure is configured to resonate at a low frequency band, a first high frequency band and a second high frequency band.

15. The mobile device of claim 14 , wherein the low frequency band is between 2400 MHz and 2500 MHz, the first high frequency band is between 5000 MHz and 5300 MHZ, and the second high frequency band is between 5300 MHz and 5700 MHz.

16. The mobile device of claim 10 , wherein the mobile device is a laptop computer.

17. The mobile device of claim 10 , wherein the gap extends over the first nonconductive support member and the second nonconductive support member.

18. The mobile device of claim 10 , further comprising a coaxial cable having an inner conductor and an outer conductor, the inner conductor coupled to a feed point of the feeding element, and the outer conductor coupled to a ground plane of the mobile device.

19. A mobile device, comprising:
a first nonconductive support member;
a second nonconductive support member adjacent to, and lower than, the first nonconductive supporting member, and
an antenna structure including:
a first radiating portion disposed on the first nonconductive support member;
a second radiating portion disposed on the first nonconductive support member and extending in a direction opposite to the first radiating portion;
a feeding element; and
a connecting portion disposed on the first nonconductive support member and the second nonconductive support member that couples the first radiating portion and the second radiating portion to each other and to the feeding element,

wherein the first nonconductive support member is part of a visible edge portion of the mobile device,
wherein the connecting portion comprises a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion, the second connecting portion coupling the first radiating portion and the second radiating portion to each other, and the first connecting portion coupling the feeding element to the second connecting portion, and
