This application relates to the field of antenna technologies, and in particular, to a dual-feed dual-band MIMO antenna apparatus and a terminal.
As multiple-input multiple-output (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output, MIMO) is popularly applied, a higher requirement is currently imposed on an antenna design. In some designs to which the MIMO is applied, another two antennas need to be designed in original space.
In the prior art, a diversity antenna is separately designed in a MIMO antenna design.
However, currently, with a development trend of a large screen-to-body ratio and multi-camera of a terminal, antenna clearance is greatly reduced, and antenna arrangement space is increasingly limited. Consequently, the arrangement manner, namely, the diversity antenna solution in the prior art is no longer applicable. Therefore, currently, how to arrange more antennas in very small space and ensure high performance of the antennas becomes a technical problem that needs to be urgently resolved.
Embodiments of this application provide a dual-feed dual-band MIMO antenna apparatus and a terminal, so that not only more antennas can be arranged in very small space, but also high performance of the antennas can be ensured.
