AI summary

Carrier with solid antenna structure comprises a substrate and at least one solid antenna structure. The substrate has an upper surface, a lower surface, at least one first slot communicating with the upper surface and the lower surface and at least one second slot communicating with the upper surface and the lower surface. The solid antenna structure has a dielectric block formed between the first slot and the second slot and a radiation conductor, in which the dielectric block encloses the radiation conductor. In this invention, the solid antenna structure is used to enable the carrier to be applied to higher power transmission. Additionally, by setting the material of the dielectric block and optimizing the size of the radiation conductor, the carrier can be applied to multi-band.
