A terminal device according to an embodiment of the present application includes a circuit board and a display module stacked on the front surface of the circuit board. A side surface of the display module facing the circuit board comprises a metal area covered with metal and a first radiation area without metal covering. The first radiation area is provided with an antenna electrically connected with an RF module of the circuit board. The circuit board is provided with a mounting opening corresponding to the antenna.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods are described for increasing detune-resiliency of a user device during user-interactions. An antenna bandwidth may be increased, via modification of one or more antenna characteristics and/or the addition of one or more novel antenna components, in order to increase the detune-resiliency of the antenna. Moreover, user interface elements of the user device may be located outside of a protected region of the antenna. Thus, the user device may be more resilient to detuning during user interactions.

Disclosed is a radio antenna comprising a substrate of dielectric material; a ground plane of electrically conductive material on a first face of the substrate; a resonator for converting an incident electrical signal into an electromagnetic wave and for resonating at at least two different resonant frequencies. The resonator comprises at least three elements, each in the form of strips of conductive material and arranged on a second face of the substrate opposite the first face. A second element is electrically connected to the ground plane by means of a via passing through the substrate at a first end of the corresponding strip, forms an extension of the first element, and is electrically connected directly to the first element at a second end of said strip which is opposite the first end.

An antenna module includes a first antenna radiator including a feeding terminal, a second antenna radiator, a first ground radiator, a second ground radiator and a capacitive element. The second antenna radiator is disposed on one side of the first antenna radiator, and a first gap is formed between a main portion of the second antenna radiator and the first antenna radiator. The first ground radiator is disposed on another side of the first antenna radiator, and a second gap is formed between the first antenna radiator and the first antenna radiator. The second ground radiator is disposed between the second antenna radiator and the first ground radiator, and a third gap is formed between the second ground radiator and a first branch of the second antenna radiator. The capacitive element is disposed on the third gap and connects the second antenna radiator and the second ground radiator.

A folded antenna includes: a substrate including a dielectric base material and a ground disposed on a first surface of the dielectric base material; and an antenna element including a bent portion bent in a direction perpendicular to the substrate, and a folded portion further bent in a direction parallel to the substrate from the bent portion and capacitively coupled to the ground via the dielectric base material. An impedance of the folded antenna is adjusted by adjusting an area of the folded portion by changing a width dimension of the folded portion without changing a height dimension of the bent portion.

The invention relates to a radiofrequency transmission device comprising an electrical board, a transmission line, and an electroconductive fastening element which is intended to fasten the electrical board to a support, the transmission line being electrically coupled to the fastening element such that the fastening element forms at least one first radiating portion of an antenna arranged so as to emit and/or receive radiofrequency signals travelling along the transmission line.

An electronic device, including a metal back cover, a front cover, a metal wall, and at least one antenna radiator, is provided. The front cover covers the metal back cover and includes a frame area. The metal wall is disposed between the metal back cover and the front cover, and forms a metal cavity corresponding to the frame area together with the metal back cover. Each of the at least one antenna radiator is disposed in the metal cavity, is connected to a first side wall of the metal back cover, and is spaced apart from the metal wall by a distance.

The first switch element selectively couples the first antenna element through the first phase shifter to the power splitter. The second switch element selectively couples the second antenna element through the second phase shifter to the power splitter. The third switch element selectively couples the third antenna element through the third phase shifter to the power splitter. The fourth switch element selectively couples the fourth antenna element through the fourth phase shifter to the power splitter.

An appressed antenna includes an antenna housing and a metal shell. The antenna housing comprising a housing and a planar antenna, where the planar antenna is bent with one part folded onto the inner surface of the housing and other part pressed onto the outer surface of the housing. The antenna housing is sleeve fitted to the metal shell with a gap between for the planar antenna to radiate. In this all-metal environment, the position of the antenna is close to the gap opening will increase radiation efficiency. By having at least a branch at the tail end of the appressed antenna, the appressed antenna can have a good return loss and antenna gain.
