The copper sheet antenna includes a plate-shaped main antenna with a perforated strip-shaped hole in its center. A feed point is located on one side of the perforated strip-shaped hole, and the feed point is connected to the PCB board via a feed strip. The plate-shaped main antenna is rectangular, with feed angles vertically connected to its four corners and to the center of its four sides. There are eight feed angles in total. The number of copper-plated circuit areas is also eight, with each copper-plated circuit area corresponding to one feed angle, and the feed angle is soldered to its corresponding copper-plated circuit area. Preferably, the end of the feed angle is provided with a welding angle perpendicularly, and the welding angle is welded to the copper-paved circuit area.
