Abstract

A mobile terminal, including metal back cover including metal cover plate, first and second metal frames respectively arranged at two opposite sides thereof for forming first gap, first metal frame comprising first, second and third radiating portions; antenna module fixed on metal back cover close to first metal frame, antenna module comprising system ground connected with metal cover plate, and antenna circuit board connected with system ground and first metal frame, antenna circuit board including grounding, feeding, matching circuit and tuner; grounding circuit comprises grounding point and grounding pin and going across first gap; the feeding circuit comprises feeding point and feeding pin and going across first gap; first, second and third radiating portions are configured that when tuning in middle-high frequency, first and second radiating portions serve as radiator of antenna module, and when tuning in low frequency, second and third radiating portions serve as radiator.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A mobile terminal, comprising:
a metal back cover including a metal cover plate, a first metal frame and a second metal frame respectively arranged at and keeping a distance from two opposite sides of the metal cover plate for forming a first gap, the first metal frame comprising a first radiating portion, a second radiating portion and a third radiating portion successively connected;
an antenna module fixed on a side of the metal back cover close to the first metal frame, the antenna module comprising a system ground electrically connected with the metal cover plate, and an antenna circuit board electrically connected with the system ground and the first metal frame, respectively, the antenna circuit board including a grounding circuit, a feeding circuit, a tuner and a matching circuit; wherein
the grounding circuit comprises a grounding point electrically connected with the tuner and a grounding pin electrically connected with the grounding point and going across the first gap for directly contacting with the first metal frame;
the feeding circuit comprises a feeding point electrically connected with the matching circuit and a feeding pin electrically connected with the feeding point and going across the first gap for directly contacting with the first metal frame; and
the first, second and third radiating portions are such configured that when tuning in middle-high frequency bands, the first radiating portion and the second radiating portion serve as a radiator of the antenna module, and when tuning in a low frequency band, the second radiating portion and the third radiating portion serve as a radiator of the antenna module.

2. The mobile terminal as described in claim 1 , wherein, the first gap comprises a first opening and a second opening; the first radiating portion extends from the first opening to the grounding pin; the second radiating portion extends from the grounding pin to the feeding pin; and the third radiating portion extends from the feeding pin to the second opening.

3. The mobile terminal as described in claim 2 , wherein, a length of the first radiating portion is smaller than a length of the third radiating portion.

4. The mobile terminal as described in claim 1 , wherein, the tuner comprises a radio frequency switch having one end thereof electrically connected with the grounding point, and another end switching between a first switching point connected with ground and a second switching point electrically connected with a tunable LC circuit.

5. The mobile terminal as described in claim 4 , wherein, the tunable LC circuit comprises an invariable first inductance and a variable first capacitance which are arranged in parallel.

6. The mobile terminal as described in claim 5 , wherein, a capacitance value range of the first capacitance is 0.3 pF-3.5 pF.

7. The mobile terminal as described in claim 1 , wherein, the matching circuit comprises an invariable second inductance which is electrically connected with the feeding point and is connected with ground, and a variable second capacitance which is connected between the feeding point and the feeding pin; the second inductance and the second capacitance are arranged in parallel.

8. The mobile terminal as described in claim 7 , wherein, a capacitance value range of the second capacitance is 2.5 pF-10 pF.

9. The mobile terminal as described in claim 1 , wherein, the antenna circuit board is connected with the system ground through at least one grounding pin and/or grounding point for achieving a ground connection.

10. The mobile terminal as described in claim 1 , further including a second gap formed between the second metal frame and the metal cover plate, a first insulating casing attached to the first metal frame and the metal cover plate for filling the first gap, and a second insulating casing attached to the second metal frame and the metal cover plate for filling the second gap.
