The present invention relates to the field of antenna technologies, and in particular, to an antenna and an electronic device.
With development of science and technology, metallic materials are usually used to design a product housing, so that electronic devices such as smartphones and tablet computers can attract consumers. The metallic materials used for the product housing may affect radiation performance of an antenna.
Compared with a conventional inverted-F antenna (IFA antenna for short) or monopole antenna (English: monopole antenna), a slot antenna may effectively resist impact, on antenna performance, of a component that is made of a metallic material and that is around the antenna.
However, the slot antenna may usually generate one frequency band. For example, the slot antenna may cover WLAN (English name: Wireless Local Area Networks) bandwidth. The WLAN bandwidth may be 2.4 GHz-2.5 GHz or 5.0 GHz-5.8 GHz. How to further cover a low frequency when the slot antenna has generated one frequency band is an urgent problem to be resolved.
