In recent years, the demand for the wireless device of tracking exchage grows to even greater heights.Therefore, wish that wireless device can be with a diversified communication form of correspondence, and be high-performance, small-sized and light weight.Antenna assembly is also wished the size that can use in such wireless device, and has desirable performance.
Such antenna assembly and to use the representative of its mobile communications device be mobile phone.Mobile phone uses in the various areas in the world, and its working band is also different with landing pit.
For example, the working band of below having represented digital mobile telephony.
The working band of the Personal Digital Cellular (PDC) 800 of Japan is 810~960MHz.
The America and Europe, the working band of Group Special Mobile Community (GSM) is 890~960MHz.The working band of Personal Communication Network (PCN) is 1710~1880MHz.The working band of Personal Communication System (PCS) is 1850~1990MHz.
As the antenna assembly of the built-in usefulness of using in the above mobile phone, generally be extensive use of tabular inverted-F antenna.
Below, use Fig. 8 and Fig. 9 illustrate the tabular inverted-F antenna of lift-launch on mobile phone in the past.
Fig. 8 is the concept map of antenna assembly in the past.
Fig. 9 is the stereogram of a part that has excised the back side of the mobile phone that has carried identical antenna assembly.
