ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING ANTENNA - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17879609 titled 'ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING ANTENNA

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an electronic device with a conductive housing, a wireless communication circuit, and an antenna structure. The antenna structure includes an antenna slit on the side surface of the housing, a feeder to supply current to the slit, and a conductive member covering a portion of the slit.

  • The electronic device has a conductive housing with a front surface, rear surface, and side surface.
  • The side surface of the housing is made of a conductive material.
  • Inside the housing, there is a wireless communication circuit and an antenna structure.
  • The antenna structure includes an antenna slit on the side surface of the housing.
  • A feeder is present to provide current to the antenna slit.
  • A conductive member made of a conductive material covers a portion of the antenna slit.

Potential Applications

  • Mobile phones
  • Tablets
  • Laptops
  • Smartwatches
  • Internet of Things (IoT) devices

Problems Solved

  • Simplifies the design and integration of antennas in electronic devices.
  • Provides a conductive housing that can also function as part of the antenna structure.
  • Reduces the need for separate antenna components, saving space and cost.

Benefits

  • Improved wireless communication performance due to the integrated antenna structure.
  • Enhanced durability and protection of the antenna slit with the conductive member covering it.
  • Streamlined manufacturing process by combining the housing and antenna structure into a single component.


Original Abstract Submitted

According to an example embodiment, an electronic device includes: a housing including a front surface, a rear surface opposite to the front surface, and a side surface surrounding at least a portion of an internal space between the front surface and the rear surface, the side surface comprising a conductive material; a wireless communication circuit disposed in the internal space, and an antenna structure including an antenna electrically connected to the wireless communication circuit. The antenna structure includes, an antenna slit formed in an area of the side surface comprising the conductive material and having a longitudinal direction, a feeder configured to apply a current to the antenna slit, and a conductive member comprising a conductive material connected to the side surface to cover at least a portion of the antenna slit.
