Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A mobile communication device includes an antenna structure which includes a grounding element and an antenna element. There is a notch at an edge of the grounding element. The antenna element is disposed in the notch and includes a metal loop portion and a monopole antenna. The metal loop portion is electrically connected to the grounding element with at least one shorting point, such that a short-circuited closed metal loop is formed. The monopole antenna has a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the monopole antenna is a feeding point connected to a signal source, and the second end of the monopole antenna is an open end surrounded by the closed metal loop.
