Solution Approach 1:

The antenna is divided into multiple radiating sections (first radiating section with feeding segment, extending segment, and high-frequency coupling segment; second radiating section) that are spatially separated and arranged in specific configurations. This segmentation allows each section to operate at different frequency bands while reducing mutual interference, thereby maintaining radiation efficiency in a compact device form factor

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Different portions of the antenna structure are designed with specific local characteristics: the feeding segment connects to the feeding point, the extending segment generates the first frequency band, the high-frequency coupling segment generates the second frequency band, and the second radiating section generates the third frequency band. Each segment's geometry and position are optimized for its specific function, enabling multi-band operation with high radiation efficiency in limited space

Solution Approach 1:

A grounding section is introduced as an intermediary element between the radiating sections and the device chassis/other electronic components. The grounding section provides electromagnetic isolation and reference potential, acting as a mediator that allows close integration of electronic modules while protecting the antenna's radiation characteristics from interference

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The antenna design utilizes three-dimensional spatial arrangement of radiating sections at different positions and orientations. The first radiating section is disposed on one side of the base, the second radiating section is disposed on the base and spaced apart, forming an open loop structure. This dimensional arrangement allows electronic modules to be integrated in the limited space while maintaining adequate electromagnetic separation to preserve antenna characteristics
