Abstract

Disclosed is a mobile terminal. The mobile terminal comprises an antenna body and a metal ring. The metal ring is provided on the mobile terminal without contacting the antenna body, and the vertical projection of the metal ring on a plane where the antenna body is located intersects the antenna body. By means of the disclosure, signal receiving performance of the mobile terminal is improved, and the loss caused by head and hand is reduced to a certain extent.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A mobile terminal, comprising:
an antenna body; and
a metal ring located on the mobile terminal, wherein the metal ring is not in contact with the antenna body and a vertical projection of the metal ring on a plane where the antenna body is located intersects the antenna body;
wherein a circumference of the metal ring is one quarter of a wavelength of signals the mobile terminal is configured to receive.

2. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the metal ring is located on a main board of the mobile terminal.

3. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the metal ring is located on a first support on a rear housing of the mobile terminal.

4. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the mobile terminal further comprises:
a feeding circuit on a main board of the mobile terminal and connected to the antenna body.

5. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the antenna body is located on a bottom of a rear housing of the mobile terminal or a second support at a bottom via a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) process.

6. The mobile terminal according to claim 1 , wherein the antenna body comprises a monopole antenna or an inverse flat antenna (IFA).

7. The mobile terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the mobile terminal further comprises:
a feeding circuit on the main board of the mobile terminal and connected to the antenna body.

8. The mobile terminal according to claim 3 , wherein the mobile terminal further comprises:
a feeding circuit on a main board of the mobile terminal and connected to the antenna body.

9. The mobile terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the antenna body is located on a bottom of a rear housing of the mobile terminal or a second support at a bottom via a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) process.

10. The mobile terminal according to claim 3 , wherein the antenna body is located on a bottom of the rear housing of the mobile terminal or a second support at a bottom via a flexible printed circuit board (FPC) process.

11. The mobile terminal according to claim 2 , wherein the antenna body comprises a monopole antenna or an inverse flat antenna (IFA).

12. The mobile terminal according to claim 3 , wherein the antenna body comprises a monopole antenna or an inverse flat antenna (IFA).
