Abstract

An antenna assembly and an electronic device are provided. The antenna assembly includes a substrate, a radiating patch, and a matching structure. The radiating patch is disposed on the substrate. The matching structure is configured to be electrically connected with a radio frequency (RF) signal circuit at one end of the matching structure, and the matching structure is provided with a first coupling piece at the other end of the matching structure. The first coupling piece is in capacitive coupling with the radiating patch. The first coupling piece is configured to feed a RF signal generated by the RF signal circuit into the radiating patch, to excite the radiating patch to generate multiple resonant modes. At least one resonant mode in the multiple resonant modes is generated by the capacitive coupling between the first coupling piece and the radiating patch.
