[0038] It should be understood that although the terms first, second, third, etc., may be used in this disclosure to describe various information, such information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are used only to distinguish information of the same type from one another. For example, without departing from the scope of this disclosure, first information may also be referred to as second information, and similarly, second information may also be referred to as first information. Depending on the context, the word "if" as used herein may be interpreted as "when," "when," or "in response to determination."

[0039] Figure 1 This is a partial schematic diagram of an electronic device according to an exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the electronic device includes a metal plate 1, multiple feed terminals 2, multiple metal frame segments, and a millimeter-wave module 3. The multiple metal frame segments are located outside the metal plate 1, with adjacent metal frame segments forming gaps. Each metal frame segment and the metal plate 1 form at least one clearance. For example, some metal frame segments are spaced apart from the metal plate 1 to form a clearance, while others are grounded to the metal plate 1 via metal ribs, forming two or more clearances separated by metal ribs. To enable the metal frame segments to radiate electromagnetic signals as antenna radiators, each metal frame segment can be electrically connected to at least one feed terminal. The electrical signal fed into the feed terminal excites a current in the metal frame segment, generating electromagnetic waves. The antenna structure may also include a matching circuit for a tuning switch assembly to switch the operating frequency band of the electrically connected metal frame segments, and an impedance matching circuit to achieve impedance matching between the connected metal frame segments.

[0040] The millimeter-wave module 3 is located inside the metal frame segment and is used to radiate millimeter-wave signals. The electronic device may include a first metal frame segment 4, a second metal frame segment 5, and a third metal frame segment 6. The first metal frame segment 4 is connected to the metal plate 1 via a first metal rib to form a first radiator 41 and a second radiator 42; similarly, the second metal frame segment 5 is connected to the metal plate 1 via a second metal rib to form a third radiator 51 and a fourth radiator 52, and the third metal frame segment 6 is connected to the metal plate 1 via a third metal rib to form a fifth radiator 61 and a sixth radiator 62.

[0041] The first, second, and third metal ribs can be integrated with the metal plate 1, or they can be separate parts that are electronically connected later through processing. The second radiator 42 and the third radiator 51 cooperate to form a gap, as do the fourth radiator 52 and the fifth radiator 61. The first radiator 41, the second radiator 42, and the sixth radiator 62 radiate Bluetooth signals, enabling a three-Bluetooth antenna configuration for the electronic device. This achieves a coexistence design between the three Bluetooth antennas and the millimeter-wave antenna. Simultaneously, the three Bluetooth antennas can support AOA (Angle of Arrival) and AOD (Angle of Departure) functions, achieving precise positioning and optimizing the connection experience between the electronic device and smart home devices. Furthermore, in this disclosed technical solution, the first radiator 41 and the second radiator 42 are separated by the first metal rib, and the second radiator 42 and the sixth radiator 62 are separated by the second metal rib and the gap between the fourth radiator 52 and the fifth radiator 61, achieving isolation between antennas of the same frequency band and improving the isolation between Bluetooth antennas.

[0042] In some embodiments, the first radiator 41 can also be used to radiate Wi-Fi band signals, such as Wi-Fi 2.4G, Wi-Fi 5G, and Wi-Fi 6e signals. Considering the significant frequency differences between Wi-Fi 2.4G and 5G signals, and between Wi-Fi 2.4G and 6e signals, the first radiator 41 can be connected to two power supplies. One power supply is used to excite the first radiator 41 to generate resonance covering the Wi-Fi 2.4G band signal, and the other power supply is used to excite the first radiator 41 to generate resonance covering the Wi-Fi 5G and 6e band signals. The second radiator 42 can be used to radiate Wi-Fi band signals, such as Wi-Fi 2.4G. The third radiator 51 can be used to radiate Wi-Fi band signals, such as Wi-Fi 5G and 6e. In this way, dual WiFi 2.4G antenna arrangements, dual WiFi 5G antenna arrangements, and dual WiFi 6e antenna arrangements are realized for electronic devices. Furthermore, the isolation between the first radiator 41 and the second radiator 42 when radiating WiFi 2.4G band signals is improved by using a first metal rib spacing between them. Similarly, the isolation between the first radiator 41 and the third radiator 51 when radiating WiFi 5G band signals and WiFi 6e band signals is improved by using a first metal rib spacing and a gap spacing between them.

[0043] In the above embodiments, the first radiator 41 is also used to radiate GPS L1 band signals, which can be co-fed with Wi-Fi 2.4G band signals. The electronic device may also include a metal decorative element 7, which can be electrically connected to a single feed terminal. This allows the feed terminal to excite a current in the metal decorative element, enabling it to radiate GPS L5 band signals. This achieves a dual GPS antenna arrangement for the electronic device, improving positioning accuracy. Furthermore, the metal decorative element 7 and the first radiator 41 are spaced apart, resulting in a high degree of isolation and reducing coupling effects between antennas operating at the same frequency.

[0044] Based on the technical solution of this disclosure, the electronic device further includes a fourth metal frame segment 8 for radiating satellite frequency band signals, thus configuring the electronic device with satellite communication functionality. The fourth metal frame segment 8 cooperates with the first radiator 41 to form a gap, and the fourth metal frame segment 8 covers the first corner area of ​​the metal plate 1, that is, the fourth metal frame segment 8 covers... Figure 1The upper right corner of the central metal plate 1, through subsequent reasonable position adjustments, allows the fourth metal frame segment 8 to be positioned on top of the electronic device. This facilitates satellite communication when the fourth metal frame segment 8 operates in the satellite frequency band. The fourth metal frame segment 8 and the metal plate 1 form a continuous clearance, enabling the fourth metal frame segment 8 to be suspended. Thus, the fourth metal frame segment 8 acts as a single radiator, and subsequent electrical connection between the fourth metal frame segment 8 and the SAR sensor enables precise SAR reduction of the electronic device.

[0045] Furthermore, the electronic device also includes a fifth metal frame segment 9, a sixth metal frame segment 10, and a seventh metal frame segment 11. The fifth metal frame segment 9 covers the third corner region of the metal plate 1, and the first metal frame segment 4 can cover the second corner region of the metal plate. Along the length of the metal plate 1, the third corner region and the second corner region are located on the same side, that is... Figure 1 As shown, the vertical direction is the length direction of metal plate 1, the third corner area is the lower left corner area of ​​metal plate 1, and the second corner area is the upper left corner area of ​​metal plate 1. The fifth metal frame segment 9 forms a solid clearance with metal plate 1, allowing the fifth metal frame segment 9 to act as a single radiator for electromagnetic wave radiation. The sixth metal frame segment 10 is connected to the metal plate 1 via the fifth metal rib to form the seventh radiator 101 and the eighth radiator 102. The seventh radiator and the fourth metal frame segment 8 of 101 cooperate to form a gap. The seventh metal frame segment 11 is connected to the metal plate 1 via the sixth metal rib to form the ninth radiator 111 and the tenth radiator 112. The ninth radiator 111 and the eighth radiator 102 cooperate to form a gap. Among them, the fifth radiator 61, the fifth metal frame segment 9, the seventh radiator 101 and the tenth radiator 112 are all used to radiate low-frequency band signals, thereby realizing the arrangement of four low-frequency antennas of electronic equipment. Furthermore, the isolation between the fifth radiator 61 and the fifth metal frame segment 9 is improved through the third metal rib and the gap, and the isolation between the seventh radiator 101 and the tenth radiator 112 is improved through the sixth metal rib and the gap, which is beneficial to improving the low-frequency radiation performance of electronic equipment.

[0046] Furthermore, the fourth radiator 52, the seventh radiator 101, and the ninth radiator 111 can all be used to radiate mid-to-high frequency signals. The electronic device also includes an eighth metal frame segment 12 covering the fourth corner region of the metal plate 1, that is, the eighth metal frame segment 12 covers... Figure 1The lower right corner area of ​​the middle metal plate 1. The eighth metal frame segment 12 is connected to the metal plate 1 via the seventh metal rib to form the eleventh radiator 121 and the twelfth radiator 122. The eleventh radiator 121 and the tenth radiator 112 cooperate to form a gap. The twelfth radiator 122 is used to radiate mid-to-high frequency signals. This realizes the arrangement of four mid-to-high frequency antennas for electronic devices. Furthermore, adjacent pairs of the fourth radiator 52, the seventh radiator 101, the ninth radiator 111, and the twelfth radiator 122 are isolated by metal ribs or gaps, improving the isolation between mid-to-high frequency antennas. A USB connector can be arranged between the twelfth radiator 122 and the fifth metal frame segment 9. The USB connector can be equipped with a USB interface. A gap can be formed between the fifth metal frame segment 9 and the USB connector, and a gap can also be formed between the twelfth radiator 122 and the USB connector.

[0047] Furthermore, the eleventh radiator 121 can be used to radiate UWB band signals. Since UWB band signals are usually located in the 7.1GHz-8.2GHz frequency range, the required radiator length is relatively short. Therefore, by having the eleventh radiator 121 and the twelfth radiator 122 share the eighth metal frame segment 12, it is beneficial to give the twelfth radiator 122 more length space, which is beneficial to the frequency modulation and matching of the twelfth radiator 122.

[0048] Furthermore, the second radiator 42, the seventh radiator 101, the ninth radiator 111, and the twelfth radiator 122 are all used to radiate N78 band signals. This achieves the arrangement of three N78 band antennas for the electronic device, which is beneficial to ensuring the N78 band radiation performance of the electronic device in various application scenarios. Moreover, any two of the second radiator 42, the seventh radiator 101, the ninth radiator 111, and the twelfth radiator 122 are separated by metal ribs or gaps, improving the strength between the N78 band antennas and further enhancing the N78 band radiation performance of the electronic device.

[0049] Furthermore, the electronic device also includes an LDS (Laser-Direct-structuring) antenna 13, which is connected to a single feed end. The LDS antenna 13 is used to radiate N78 band signals and is located near the top corner area of ​​the electronic device. By adding the LDS antenna 13, a four-N78 band antenna configuration can be achieved for the electronic device, and the proximity of the LDS antennas to the top corner area ensures good radiation performance in most application scenarios.
