The circuit board 30 may be configured to mount an electronic component of the electronic device 100. For example, the electronic component may include a central processing unit (CPU), a battery management unit, and a baseband processing unit. The circuit board 30 is located between the screen 20 and the rear cover 11, that is, the circuit board 30 is located in the accommodating space 13.

In addition, to bring a more comfortable visual experience to a user, the electronic device 100 may use a bezel-less screen industrial design (ID). The bezel-less screen means a large screen-to-body ratio (usually over 90%). A width of the bezel 12 of the bezel-less screen is greatly reduced, and internal components of the electronic device 100, such as a front-facing camera, a phone receiver, a fingerprint sensor, and an antenna, need to be rearranged. Especially for the antenna design, the clearance region is reduced and the antenna space is further reduced. However, the size, bandwidth, and efficiency of the antenna are correlated and affect each other. If the antenna size (space) is reduced, the efficiency-bandwidth product of the antenna is definitely reduced.
In a conventional antenna design, when antenna design space is further reduced, on a mobile phone with a common ID such as a metal bezel or a glass rear cover, a plurality of different radiators are usually disposed around the entire mobile phone to implement a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) antenna. However, the plurality of different radiators need to meet a high requirement in terms of an antenna form, grounding, feed, and the like, so as to implement high antenna isolation and a low envelope correlation coefficient (ECC).
An antenna design solution provided in this application may be applied to a MIMO antenna. A high-isolation and low-ECC feature of the MIMO antenna may be implemented by setting an antenna structure and using two feed manners: a symmetric feed manner and an anti-symmetric feed manner. In addition, the antenna structure can further implement an antenna covering a large quantity of frequency bands, so that the electronic device 100 having limited space can also transmit or receive electromagnetic wave signals of the large quantity of frequency bands.

The electric field is strong at the middle position of the slot antenna 101 and weak at both ends of the slot antenna 101.
2. Differential Mode (DM) Slot Antenna Mode
In other words, a middle position 112 of the slot antenna 110 is connected to a feed source, and the middle position 112 may also be referred to as a feed position. A positive electrode of the feed source may be connected to one side edge of the gap 113, and a negative electrode of the feed source may be connected to the other side edge of the gap 113.

The current is weak at the middle position of the slot antenna 110, and is strong at both ends of the slot antenna 110. The electric field is strong at the middle position of the slot antenna 110 and weak at both ends of the slot antenna 110.

The current is strong at the middle position 103 of the wire antenna 101 and weak at both ends of the wire antenna 101. The electric field is weak at the middle position 103 of the wire antenna 101 and strong at both ends of the wire antenna 101.
4. Differential Mode (DM) Wire Antenna Mode
The current and the electric field in the DM wire antenna mode are generated by the entire wire antenna 104 as a ½ wavelength antenna. The current is strong at the middle position 106 of the wire antenna 104 and weak at both ends of the wire antenna 104. The electric field is weak at the middle position 106 of the wire antenna 104 and strong at both ends of the wire antenna 104.
