Abstract

An antenna includes a metal frame including a radiation frame with a first grounding point, and a grounding frame separated from the radiation frame; a mainboard including a system ground and a feeding end, the system ground including a first and second ground point; a diversity antenna unit including a feeding point and a second grounding point; and a conductive bracket; a front-facing camera is mounted on the mainboard; a gap is between the radiation frame and the grounding frame, the first ground point and the second ground point are at two opposite sides of the camera, respectively; the feeding point is connected with the feeding end, the second grounding point is connected with the system ground; one end of the conductive bracket is connected with the first ground point, and the other end is connected with the second ground point, so that the conductive bracket crosses the camera.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . An antenna of a mobile terminal, the mobile terminal comprising a front-facing camera, wherein the antenna comprises:
a metal frame comprising a radiation frame and a grounding frame separately arranged with respect to the radiation frame; the radiation frame comprising a first grounding point; a mainboard comprising a system ground and a feeding end, the system ground comprising a first ground point and a second ground point, a diversity antenna unit comprising a feeding point and a second grounding point; and a conductive bracket, wherein the front-facing camera is mounted on the mainboard; a gap is defined between the radiation frame and the grounding frame, and the first ground point and the second ground point are at two opposite sides of the front-facing camera, respectively; the feeding point is connected with the feeding end, and the second grounding point is connected with the system ground; one end of the conductive bracket is connected with the first ground point, and the other end of the conductive bracket is connected with the second ground point, so that the conductive bracket crosses the front-facing camera.

2 . The antenna as described in claim 1 , wherein one end of the front-facing camera close to the radiation frame is a top end, and the conductive bracket is opposite to the top end in a thickness direction of the mainboard.

3 . The antenna as described in claim 2 , wherein the conductive bracket comprises a strip-like section, a projection of the strip-like section overlaps with a projection of the top end in the thickness direction of the mainboard, and a width of the strip-like section is 2 mm.

4 . The antenna as described in claim 3 , wherein an extending direction of the strip-like section is parallel to a width direction of the mobile terminal.

5 . The antenna as described in claim 1 , further comprising:
a first spring pin, wherein the conductive bracket is connected with the first ground point by the first spring pin.

6 . The antenna as described in claim 5 , wherein one end of the first spring pin is welded at the first ground point, and the other end of the first spring pin is connected with the conductive bracket.

7 . The antenna as described in claim 1 , further comprising:
a second spring pin, wherein the conductive bracket is connected with the second ground point by the second spring pin, and the second spring pin is connected with the first grounding point.

8 . The antenna as described in claim 7 , wherein one end of the second spring pin is connected with the conductive bracket by hot-melting, and the other end of the second spring pin is respectively connected with the first grounding point and the mainboard.

9 . The antenna as described in claim 1 , further comprising:
a tuning switch, wherein the system ground comprises a third ground point, the radiation frame is connected with the third ground point by the tuning switch, and the second grounding point is connected with the third ground point.

10 . A mobile terminal, comprising the antenna as described in claim 1 .
