Many of the attendant features will be more readily appreciated, as the same becomes better understood by reference to the following detailed description considered in connection with the accompanying drawings.
The invention can be more fully understood by reading the following detailed description of the embodiment, with reference made to the accompanying drawings as follows:
Reference will now be made in detail to the present embodiments of the invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Wherever possible, the same reference numbers are used in the drawings and the description to refer to the same or like parts.

As used herein, “around”, “about”, “substantially” or “approximately” shall generally mean within 20 percent, preferably within 10 percent, and more preferably within 5 percent of a given value or range. Numerical quantities given herein are approximate, meaning that the term “around”, “about”, “substantially” or “approximately” can be inferred if not expressly stated.

In practice, a periodic structure is engraved on the defective ground structure layer 111 to perturb the current path, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the size and increasing or decreasing the modes. The aforementioned periodic structure may include a plurality of horizontal gaps and a plurality of vertical gaps, the horizontal gaps are perpendicular to the vertical gaps, so as to form a plurality of blocks 119 (e.g., copper foil blocks). For example, the gap on the side edge of the defective ground structure layer 111 can be about 0.1 mm, the horizontal and vertical gaps in the defective ground structure layer 111 can be about 0.2 mm, and the gap of 0.1/0.2 mm is only a suggested range. In practice, the adjustment of the working frequency can be achieved by adjusting the size of the gaps and the blocks, the gap can be up to 1 mm, but the present disclosure is not limited to the aforementioned values. The length and width of a single block 119 may be about 10-34 mm (e.g., about 16 mm), but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.
By using defect grounding structure technology, the antenna system 100 has the advantages of ultra-thin thickness (e.g., about 0.6 mm), low environmental interference of antenna parameters, etc., and the antenna system 100 can be widely used in various electronic devices without cumbersome and complicated adjustment design.
In
In practice, for example, the size of the antenna structure board 120 may be about 88.2 mm×88.2 mm and the thickness is only about 0.2 mm. In practice, the thickness of antenna structure board 120 may not be only 0.2 mm; in fact, better results can be obtained with a thicker thickness, the thickness of the antenna structure board 120 may be up to about 2 mm, but the present disclosure is not limited to the aforementioned values. The second insulating plate 121 can be the FR4 planar plate or other planar insulating plates, and a single-side conductive layer (e.g., copper foil) is formed on one side of the second insulating plate 121 to be designed as the first antenna body 130 and the second antenna body 140.
It should be understood that the traditional Wi-Fi 6E frequency band antenna needs to be designed in accordance with different placement positions and different parameter environments, which is quite time-consuming and expensive. In practice, for example, the antenna system 100 of the present disclosure can serve as a defective ground structure antenna in the Wi-Fi 6E frequency band, which can use double-layer FR4 planar boards or other boards to make the defective ground structure board 110 and antenna structure board 120, the antenna system 100 is easy to be placed in the space of the electronic device and is less affected by environmental parameters. Therefore, antenna system 100 can be modularized as a commodity. In addition, the antenna system 100 of the present disclosure can serve as a defective ground structure antenna in the Wi-Fi 6E frequency band, covering the low frequency 2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz and the high frequency 5.15 GHz to 7.125 GHz of Wi-Fi 6E, and therefore, the antenna system 100 is not limited to single frequency or narrowband applications.
As shown in
In practice, the structure of the second antenna body 140 is the same as that of the first antenna body 130, so it is not be repeated herein. It should be noted that terms such as “first”, “second”, “third”, etc. used herein are only used to describe different elements, and have no limitation on the elements themselves. Therefore, the first element can also be renamed as the second element.

The first asymmetrical T-structure component 210 is positioned outside the first inverted-F antenna 220, and the first asymmetrical T-structure component 210 is disconnected from the first inverted-F antenna 220. The asymmetrical T-structure component 210 includes a component 211 and a component 212, the component 212 is vertically connected to the component 211, and the end of component 212 has the second via 133. In use, the first asymmetrical T-structure component 210 can match the dual-frequency mode of the antenna (e.g., the first inverted-F antenna 220) resonated throughout the antenna body.
