Abstract

A gain structure of a stretchable antenna for mobile phones and especially of an antenna for minimized mobile phones, wherein, a quarter-wave coil antenna is built in a hole of a connecting member on the top of a mobile phone, one end of the coil antenna is pressed against a metallic conductive block in the connecting member; a spring sheet has its top folded end fixed on the metallic conductive block, and has the other end thereof extended in a hole provided on the top of the mobile phone to abut on an internal electric circuit board under a pressing force. A quarter-wave rod antenna is connected to the connecting member to be freely movable in and out of it. When the rod antenna is stretched out, a metallic bottom end sleeve thereof is pressed into the metallic conductive block to make electric connection therewith, this can increase gain in signal receiving and emitting of the minimized mobile phone.
