Abstract

The present disclosure relates to feed structures of antennas, antennas, and communication devices. One example feed structure includes a first cavity with a first signal cable and a second cavity with a second signal cable. The first signal cable includes a first main part and a first elastic bending part located at one end of the first main part. The first main part extends along a first direction. An extension direction of the first elastic bending part intersects with the first direction, and the first elastic bending part can be deformed towards the extension direction of the first main part. A first hole is provided between the first cavity and the second cavity. The first cavity and the second cavity are connected through the first hole.
