Abstract

An antenna structure includes a ground plane, a first radiation element, a second radiation element, a third radiation element, and a fourth radiation element. A closed slot is formed in the ground plane. The first radiation element has a feeding point. The first radiation element is coupled to a first shorting point on the ground plane. The second radiation element is coupled to a second shorting point on the ground plane. The second radiation element is adjacent to the first radiation element. The third radiation element is coupled to the feeding point. The fourth radiation element is coupled to a third shorting point on the ground plane. The fourth radiation element is adjacent to the third radiation element. The first radiation element, the second radiation element, the third radiation element, and the fourth radiation element are all disposed inside the closed slot.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An antenna structure, comprising:
a ground plane, wherein a closed slot is formed in the ground plane;
a first radiation element, having a feeding point, and coupled to a first shorting point on the ground plane;
a second radiation element, coupled to a second shorting point on the ground plane, wherein the second radiation element is adjacent to the first radiation element;
a third radiation element, coupled to the feeding point; and
a fourth radiation element, coupled to a third shorting point on the ground plane, wherein the fourth radiation element is adjacent to the third radiation element;
wherein the first radiation element, the second radiation element, the third radiation element, and the fourth radiation element are all disposed inside the closed slot.

2. The antenna structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first radiation element substantially has a U-shape.

3. The antenna structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second radiation element substantially has an L-shape.

4. The antenna structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the closed slot has a first edge and a second edge opposite to each other, the first shorting point is positioned at the first edge of the closed slot, and the second shorting point and the third shorting point are positioned at the second edge of the closed slot.

5. The antenna structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the antenna structure covers a first frequency band and a second frequency band, the first frequency band is from 2400 MHz to 2500 MHz, and the second frequency band is from 5150 MHz to 5850 MHz.

6. The antenna structure as claimed in claim 5 , wherein a length of the closed slot is from 0.25 to 0.5 wavelength of the first frequency band.

7. The antenna structure as claimed in claim 5 , wherein a first coupling gap is formed between the first radiation element and the second radiation element, such that the second radiation element is excited by the first radiation element using a coupling mechanism.

8. The antenna structure as claimed in claim 5 , wherein a length of each of the first radiation element and the second radiation element is shorter than or equal to 0.25 wavelength of the first frequency band.

9. The antenna structure as claimed in claim 5 , wherein a second coupling gap is formed between the third radiation element and the fourth radiation element, such that the fourth radiation element is excited by the third radiation element using a coupling mechanism.

10. The antenna structure as claimed in claim 5 , wherein a length of each of the third radiation element and the fourth radiation element is shorter than or equal to 0.25 wavelength of the second frequency band.
