Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A multiband switchable antenna structure includes a feeding element, a first radiation element, a second radiation element, circuit branches, and a switch circuit. A first end of the feeding element is a feeding point. A first end of the first radiation element is coupled to a second end of the feeding element. A second end of the first radiation element is open. A first end of the second radiation element is coupled to the second end of the feeding element. The circuit branches have different impedance values. The switch circuit selects one of the circuit branches as a matching branch according to a control signal. A second end of the second radiation element is coupled through the matching branch to a ground voltage.
First claim

What is claimed is: 1 . A multiband switchable antenna structure, comprising: a feeding element, wherein a first end of the feeding element is a feeding point; a first radiation element, wherein a first end of the first radiation element is coupled to a second end of the feeding element, and a second end of the first radiation element is open; a second radiation element, wherein a first end of the second radiation element is coupled to the second end of the feeding element; a plurality of circuit branches, having different impedance values; and a switch circuit, selecting one of the circuit branches as a matching branch according to a control signal, wherein a second end of the second radiation element is coupled through the matching branch to a ground voltage. 2 . The multiband switchable antenna structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second end of the first radiation element extends away from the feeding point, and the second end of the second radiation element extends toward the feeding point. 3 . The multiband switchable antenna structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the feeding element substantially has an L-shape. 4 . The multiband switchable antenna structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the first radiation element substantially has an L-shape. 5 . The multiband switchable antenna structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the second radiation element substantially has an L-shape. 6 . The multiband switchable antenna structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the circuit branches comprise an open-circuited branch, an inductive branch, a capacitive branch, and a short-circuited branch. 7 . The multiband switchable antenna structure as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the feeding element, the first radiation element, the second radiation element, and the matching branch are excited to generate a low-frequency band, and the low-frequency band is substantially from 700 MHz to 960 MHz. 8 . The multiband switchable antenna structure as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising: a third radiation element, wherein a first end of the third radiation element is the feeding point, and a second end of the third radiation element is open and adjacent to the feeding point. 9 . The multiband switchable antenna structure as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising: a fourth radiation element, wherein a first end of the fourth radiation element is coupled to a central portion of the feeding element, and a second end of the fourth radiation element is open. 10 . The multiband switchable antenna structure as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the third radiation element is excited to generate a first high-frequency band, the fourth radiation element is excited to generate a second high-frequency band, the first high-frequency band is substantially from 2300 MHz to 2700 MHz, and the second high-frequency band is substantially from 1710 MHz to 2170 MHz.
