ANTENNA AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 16976907 titled 'ANTENNA AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING THE SAME

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an electronic device that includes a housing, a printed circuit board (PCB), and multiple antenna structures. A flexible substrate is used to electrically connect the PCB and the antenna structures.

• The electronic device includes a housing with an inner space.
• A printed circuit board (PCB) is placed inside the housing.
• The device has a first antenna structure that transmits and/or receives radio signals in a first frequency band.
• At least one second antenna structure is also present, which operates in a different frequency band from the first antenna structure.
• A flexible substrate is used to connect the PCB and the first antenna structure.
• The flexible substrate includes a first connecting portion that is electrically connected to the PCB.
• An interconnecting portion extends from the first connecting portion to the first antenna structure.
• The interconnecting portion also has at least one branch portion that extends to the second antenna structure.
• The interconnecting portion contains at least one first conductive path that connects the first connecting portion and the first antenna structure.
• The interconnecting portion and the branch portion contain at least one second conductive path that connects the first connecting portion and the second antenna structure.

Potential applications of this technology:

• Mobile phones and other wireless communication devices can benefit from having multiple antenna structures operating in different frequency bands.
• The flexible substrate allows for efficient and reliable electrical connections between the PCB and the antenna structures.

Problems solved by this technology:

• The use of multiple antenna structures allows for improved signal reception and transmission in different frequency bands.
• The flexible substrate provides a flexible and compact solution for connecting the PCB and the antenna structures.

Benefits of this technology:

• Improved signal reception and transmission capabilities in multiple frequency bands.
• Compact and flexible design for efficient use of space within the electronic device.

Original Abstract Submitted

In embodiments, an electronic device may include a housing having an inner space, a printed circuit board (PCB) disposed in the inner space of the housing, a first antenna structure disposed at a position spaced apart from the PCB, and transmitting and/or receiving a radio signal in a first frequency band, at least one second antenna structure disposed at a position spaced apart from the PCB, and transmitting and/or receiving a radio signal in a second frequency band different from the first frequency band, and a flexible substrate electrically connecting the PCB and the first antenna structure. The flexible substrate may include a first connecting portion electrically connected to the PCB, an interconnecting portion extended from the first connecting portion to the first antenna structure, at least one branch portion branched from at least a part of the interconnecting portion, and extended to the at least one second antenna structure, at least one first conductive path disposed in the interconnecting portion, and electrically connecting the first connecting portion and the first antenna structure, and at least one second conductive path disposed in the interconnecting portion and the at least one branch portion, and electrically connecting the first connecting portion and the at least one second antenna structure.
