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

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18601237 titled 'ANTENNA AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING SAME

In embodiments, an electronic device may include a housing with an inner space, a printed circuit board (PCB) inside the housing, a first antenna structure for a radio signal in a first frequency band, at least one second antenna structure for a radio signal in a different frequency band, and a flexible substrate connecting the PCB and the antennas.

• The electronic device has a housing with an inner space for components.
• A PCB is located inside the housing to support electronic functions.
• A first antenna structure is positioned away from the PCB for transmitting and receiving signals in a first frequency band.
• At least one second antenna structure is placed away from the PCB for signals in a different frequency band.
• A flexible substrate electrically connects the PCB and the first antenna structure.
• The flexible substrate includes connecting portions, interconnecting portions, and branch portions for signal transmission.
• Conductive paths on the flexible substrate connect the PCB, antennas, and branch portions for signal transmission.
