The present invention generally relates to an antenna structure, and more particularly to an antenna structure with multiple frequency bands.
In response to a development of 5G (Fifth Generation) mobile communication technology, in the SUB-6G frequency band, the n77 frequency band, the n78 frequency band and the n79 frequency band need to be added to an existing 4G frequency band. Under current multiple frequency band demands for mobile communications, how to provide multiple frequency bands in a limited space of an antenna structure has become a challenge.
In order to satisfy a demand for using 4G and 5G sharing devices with external antennas on the market, used antennas will have customized frequency band designs due to different signal support frequency bands of countries where the sharing devices are sold. Or the sharing devices use MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) functions to make that the antennas with different frequency bands are covered to one another to increase a transmission efficiency of each antenna. Therefore, a single antenna that is able to cover a full frequency band will be more important under benefits of the multiple antennas.
Thus, it is necessary to provide an antenna structure with multiple frequency bands, the antenna structure is capable of having a multiple frequency band function in a limited space.
An object of the present invention is to provide an antenna structure with multiple frequency bands. The antenna structure includes a substrate, a radiator mounted at one end of a front surface of the substrate, and a grounding element mounted at the other end of the front surface of the substrate. The radiator has a first radiating portion. Two portions of a middle of one end edge of the first radiating portion extend horizontally to form a second radiating portion and a feeding portion. The feeding portion is located above the second radiating portion. A free end of the feeding portion is a feeding end. An upper portion of the other end edge of the first radiating portion extends opposite to the one end edge of the first radiating portion and extends along a rectangular spiral path to form a rectangular spiral third radiating portion. The grounding element has a first grounding portion, a second grounding portion and a connecting portion. The connecting portion has a connecting edge facing towards the one end edge of the first radiating portion and extends along a vertical direction. The connecting edge is spaced from the one end edge of the first radiating portion. An upper portion and a lower portion of the connecting edge extend horizontally and towards the one end edge of the first radiating portion to form the first grounding portion and the second grounding portion. The first grounding portion is located above the feeding portion, and the second grounding portion is located below the feeding portion.
