Moreover, in the embodiment, the second section 112 has a second slit 117 located inside. The second slit 117 may be adapted to adjust the impedance matching of the second frequency band. In other embodiments, the second slit 117 may be omitted from the second section 112.


In addition, the second main radiator 120 (locations C1, C2, C3, C4, and C5) extends from the feed-in end (location A1) and is adapted to resonate in a third frequency band and a fourth frequency band. In the embodiment, the third frequency band is between 3300 MHz and 5000 MHz, and the fourth frequency band is between 5150 MHz and 5850 MHz.

In addition, in the embodiment, the impedance matching of the third frequency band and the fourth frequency band in the antenna structure 100 may be adjusted by adjusting a distance D between the parts of the second main radiator 120 at the locations C1 and C2 and a system grounding plane 50.


Besides, the frequency adjustment radiator 130 is connected to the third section 113 of the first main radiator 110 and is adapted to adjust a resonant frequency point of the first frequency band. More specifically, the frequency adjustment radiator 130 includes a fifth section 132 (locations A5 and A6), a sixth section 134 (locations A6 and A8), and a seventh section 136 (locations A6 and A7).

The grounding end (location B1) of the first main radiator 110 is connected to the switch 20 on a motherboard (not shown) to be switched to and connected to different contacts 22, 24, 26, and 28, so as to be connected to the corresponding lumped elements 32, 34, 36, and 38, thereby choosing different grounding paths (All OFF, RF1, RF3, RF4). These grounding paths (All OFF, RF1, RF3, RF4) respectively correspond to a plurality of sub-intervals in the first frequency band. When the antenna structure 100 is connected to the system grounding plane 50 via one of the grounding paths (All OFF, RF1, RF3, RF4), the antenna structure 100 is adapted to resonate in one of the sub-intervals (617 MHz to 698 MHz, 680 MHz to 800 MHz, 740 MHz to 860 MHz, 824 MHz to 960 MHz) of the first frequency band, so that the first frequency (low frequency) band can cover the bandwidth of 617 MHz to 960 MHz.


In the embodiment, the switch 20 is a one-to-four switch, for example. However, the switch 20 is not limited thereto. In other embodiments, the switch 20 may also be a one-to-two, one-to-three, one-to-five, or one-to-many switch.

In the embodiment, by only choosing some of the configurations (i.e., adopting only All OFF, grounded via parallel connection of RF1, grounded via parallel connection of RF3, and grounded via parallel connection of RF4 modes), the first frequency band is able to exhibit a favorable coverage.


More specifically, when the switch 20 is not operated (i.e., being open circuit as “All OFF”), the resonant frequency band thereof is the fourth sub-interval (band 4) of the first frequency band, i.e., 824 MHz to 960 MHz.


When the switch 20 chooses the RF1 path and is connected to the contact 22 (grounded via parallel connection of RF1), it is grounded via parallel connection with the lumped element 32 (e.g., an inductor of 1.6 nH), and the resonant frequency band thereof is the first sub-interval (band 1) of the first frequency band, i.e., 617 MHz to 698 MHz.


When the switch 20 chooses the RF3 path and is connected to the contact 26 (grounded via parallel connection of RF3), it is grounded via parallel connection with the lumped element 36 (e.g., a capacitor of 3.9 pF), and the resonant frequency band thereof is the second sub-interval (band 2) of the first frequency band, i.e., 680 MHz to 800 MHz.


When the switch 20 chooses the RF4 path and is connected to the contact 28 (grounded via parallel connection of RF4), it is grounded via parallel connection with the lumped element 38 (e.g., a capacitor of 1 pF), and the resonant frequency band thereof is the third sub-interval (band 3) of the first frequency band, i.e., 740 MHz to 860 MHz. Of course, the types and the number of the lumped elements 32, 34, 36, and 38 are not limited thereto.


It should be noted that, in the embodiment, the antenna structure 100 is adapted to be disposed on an insulating frame 10 to reduce the volume of the communication device 1 and has good antenna frequency. FIG. 2A is a schematic perspective view illustrating an insulating frame. FIGS. 2B to 2E are schematic views illustrating the antenna structure 100 of FIG. 1A disposed on different surfaces of the insulating frame 10. In some embodiments, the insulating frame 10 is made of a plastic material. However, the disclosure is not limited thereto.


Referring to FIGS. 1A and 2A to 2E, the insulating frame 10 is, for example, a rectangular body, and has a first long side surface 12, a second long side surface 14, a third long side surface 16, and a short side surface 18. As shown in FIG. 2B, a portion (location A1) of the first section 111 and a portion (location B1) of the fourth section 114 of the first main radiator 110, a portion (locations C1 and C2) of the second main radiator 120, and a portion (locations A6 and A8) of the frequency adjustment radiator 130 are distributed on the first long side surface 12 of the insulating frame 10.


As shown in FIG. 2C, the remaining portion (location A2) of the first section 111, a portion (locations A2 and A5) of the second section 112, the entire third section 113 (locations A5 and A9), and the remaining portion of the fourth section 114 of the first main radiator 110, another portion (locations C3 and C5) of the second main radiator 120, and another portion (location A5) of the frequency adjustment radiator 130 are distributed on the second long side surface 14 of the insulating frame 10.


As shown in FIG. 2D, the remaining portion (locations A3 and A4) of the second section 112 of the first main radiator 110, the remaining portion (location C4) of the second main radiator 120, and yet another portion (location A7) of the frequency adjustment radiator 130 are distributed on the third long side surface 16 of the insulating frame 10. In addition, as shown in FIG. 2E, the remaining portion of the frequency adjustment radiator 130 is located on the short side surface 18 of the insulating frame 10.


A length L1 of the insulating frame 10 is between 70 millimeters and 90 millimeters, such as 80 millimeters. Widths L3 and L5 are between 8 millimeters and 15 millimeters, such as 12 millimeters. Heights L2 and L4 are between 8 millimeters and 15 millimeters, such as 10 millimeters. Of course, the disclosure is not limited to the sizes above. In the embodiment, the first main radiator 110, the second main radiator 120, and the frequency adjustment radiator 130 may be optionally distributed on the first long side surface 12, the second long side surface 14, the third long side surface 16, and the short side surface 18 of the insulating frame 10, so as to reduce the volume of the communication device 1.



FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating a relationship between frequency (600 MHz to 1000 MHz) and voltage standing wave ratio of the communication device of FIG. 1A. Referring to FIG. 3, in the embodiment, when the switch 20 is switched to different grounding paths (RF1, RF3, RF4, All OFF), except that the voltage standing wave ratios of the frequencies at around 617 MHz and 960 MHz are about equal to or less than 6, the voltage standing wave ratios of the first sub-interval (band 1, 617 MHz to 698 MHz), the second sub-interval (band 2, 680 MHz to 800 MHz), the third sub-interval (band 3, 740 MHz to 860 MHz), and the fourth sub-interval (band 4, 824 MHz to 960 MHz) of the first frequency band are generally equal to or lower than 3, so the bandwidth performance is favorable.


In addition, FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a relationship between frequency (1500 MHz to 6000 MHz) and voltage standing wave ratio of the communication device of FIG. 1A. Referring to FIG. 4, when the switch 20 is switched to different grounding paths (RF1, RF3, RF4, All OFF), the values for the third frequency band (3300 MHz to 5000 MHz) and the fourth frequency band (5150 MHz to 5850 MHz) are kept equal to or lower than 3. Therefore, when a low frequency band (the first frequency band) is switched to different grounding paths, the properties of high frequency bands (the third frequency band to the fourth frequency band) are not affected, and the performance is still favorable.


That is, in the embodiment, the communication device 1 may be grounded via different paths, such as All OFF (insulated), grounded via parallel connection of RF1, grounded via parallel connection of RF3, grounded via parallel connection of RF4, etc., to switch among the bands of the first sub-interval (band 1, 617 MHz to 698 MHz), the second sub-interval (band 2, 680 MHz to 800 MHz), the third sub-interval (band 3, 740 MHz to 860 MHz), and the fourth sub-interval (band 4, 824 MHz to 960 MHz) in the first frequency band, so that the first frequency band is compatible with the bandwidth from 617 MHz to 960 MHz. In this way, the first frequency band is a wide band, and the third frequency band and the fourth frequency band (high frequency bands) are not affected by the switching. Therefore, frequency shifting or impedance mismatching does not occur in the third frequency band and the fourth frequency band (high frequency bands).



FIG. 5 is a Smith chart of the first frequency band (617 MHz to 960 MHz) of the communication device of FIG. 1A. Referring to FIG. 5, as shown in the Smith chart, by connecting different inductors or capacitors in parallel, the circles of variations in the Smith chart all indicate VSWR values equal to or less than 3, so the performance is favorable.



FIG. 6 is a diagram illustrating a relationship between frequency (600 MHz to 1000 MHz) and antenna efficiency of the communication device of FIG. 1A. Referring to FIG. 6, in the embodiment, when the switch 20 is switched to different grounding paths (RF1, RF3, RF4, All OFF), the antenna efficiencies of the first sub-interval (band 1, 617 MHz to 698 MHz), the second sub-interval (band 2, 680 MHz to 800 MHz), the third sub-interval (band 3, 740 MHz to 860 MHz), and the fourth sub-interval (band 4, 824 MHz to 960 MHz) are within −1.0 dBi to −6.4 dBi and all equal to or greater than −6.5 dBi, so the antenna efficiency is favorable.



FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a relationship between frequency (1500 MHz to 6000 MHz) and antenna efficiency of the communication device of FIG. 1A. Referring to FIG. 7, in the embodiment, when the switch 20 is switched to different grounding paths (RF1, RF3, RF4, All OFF), the antenna efficiencies of the second frequency band (1710 MHz to 2700 MHz) are within −1.9 dBi to −4.9 dBi, the antenna efficiencies of the third frequency band (3300 MHz to 5000 MHz) are within −1.5 dBi to −3.7 dBi, and the antenna efficiencies of the fourth frequency band (5150 MHz to 5850 MHz) are within −3.3 dBi to −4.5 dBi. The antenna efficiency values are all greater than −5 dBi, which exhibits favorable efficiency performance as a Sub-6G LTE wideband antenna for 5G communication.


In view of the foregoing, the first main radiator of the antenna structure of the disclosure is adapted to resonate in the first frequency band and the second frequency band, and the first slit is present between the second section and the third section, so as to adjust the impedance matching of the second frequency band. The second main radiator is adapted to resonate in the third frequency band and the fourth frequency band. The frequency adjustment radiator is adapted to adjust the resonant frequency point of the first frequency band. Therefore, the antenna structure of the disclosure is compatible with multiple frequency bands. Besides, by connecting one end of the switch to the grounding end of the antenna structure and optionally connecting the other end thereof to one of the lumped elements or not connecting the other end thereof to the lumped elements, the communication device according to the disclosure is able to choose among different grounding paths, so that the first frequency band can have a greater coverage.
