Abstract

An antenna module is disclosed. The antenna module is applied to a mobile communication device and includes a first radiating element and a second radiating element. The first radiating element is disposed on a base board inside the mobile communication device, and one point of the first radiating element is a feed point of the antenna module. The second radiating element is disposed on the base board and is grounded by connecting to a P-sensor inside the mobile communication device. There is a gap between one part of the second radiating element and the first radiating element.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An antenna module applied to a mobile communication device, wherein the mobile communication device comprises a case, a base plate and a proximity sensor, and the base plate and the proximity sensor are disposed inside the case, the antenna module comprising:
a first radiating element, disposed on the base plate and comprising a feed point; and
a second radiating element, disposed on the base plate and grounded by electrically connecting to the proximity sensor; a part of the second radiating element and the first radiating element are separated by a distance which is less than 3 mm, such that the first radiating element excites the second radiating element via capacitive coupling and the proximity sensor senses an induction signal when a conductive object approaches the second radiating element,
wherein the second radiating element comprises a first radiating portion and a second radiating portion; the first radiating portion is disposed on the base plate,
wherein the first radiating portion and the first radiating element are separated by the distance which is less than 3 mm; the second radiating portion is formed by outwardly extending from a side of the first radiating portion and bending twice, and the second radiating portion of the second radiating element is a part of the case.

2. The antenna module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the mobile communication device further comprises a capacitor and a switch element; one end of the capacitor is electrically connected to the second radiating element, and another end of the capacitor is electrically connected to the switch element; one end of the switch element is grounded and the switch element is used for controlling whether the capacitor is grounded or not grounded.

3. The antenna module as claimed in claim 2 , wherein the mobile communication device further comprises an inductance; one end of the inductance is connected to the second radiating element, and another end of the inductance is connected to the proximity sensor.

4. The antenna module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the mobile communication device further comprises an inductance; one end of the inductance is connected to the second radiating element, and another end of the inductance is connected to the proximity sensor.

5. The antenna module as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the mobile communication device further comprises a communication system; the communication system is grounded and is electrically connected to the proximity sensor and the feed point; the communication system is used for reducing the radiation power of the mobile communication device when the proximity sensor senses the induction signal.

6. A mobile communication device, comprising:
a case;
a base plate, disposed inside the case;
a proximity sensor, disposed inside the case; and
an antenna module, comprising:
a first radiating element, disposed on the base plate and comprises a feed point; and
a second radiating element, disposed on the base plate and grounded by electrically connecting to the proximity sensor; a part of the second radiating element and the first radiating element are separated by a distance which is less than 3 mm such that the first radiating element excites the second radiating element via capacitive coupling and the proximity sensor senses an induction signal when a conductive object approaches the second radiating element,
wherein the second radiating element comprises a first radiating portion and a second radiating portion; the first radiating portion is disposed on the base plate,
wherein the first radiating portion and the first radiating element are separated by the distance which is less than 3 mm; the second radiating portion is formed by outwardly extending from a side of the first radiating portion and bending twice, and the second radiating portion of the second radiating element is a part of the case.

7. The mobile communication device as claimed in claim 6 , further comprising a capacitor and a switch element; one end of the capacitor is electrically connected to the second radiating element, and another end of the capacitor is electrically connected to the switch element; one end of the switch element is grounded and the switch element is used for controlling whether the capacitor is grounded or not grounded.

8. The mobile communication device as claimed in claim 7 , further comprising an inductance; one end of the inductance is connected to the second radiating element, and another end of the inductance is connected to the proximity sensor.

9. The mobile communication device as claimed in claim 6 , further comprising an inductance; one end of the inductance is connected to the second radiating element, and another end of the inductance is connected to the proximity sensor.

10. The mobile communication device as claimed in claim 6 , further comprising a communication system; the communication system is grounded and electrically connected to the proximity sensor and the feed point; the communication system is used for reducing the radiation power of the mobile communication device when the proximity sensor senses the induction signal.
