Abstract
In one embodiment, an electronic device including an antenna with a ring-type structure is disclosed. The electronic device includes a metal bracket and the antenna. The antenna includes a first metal ring surrounding the metal bracket, where the first metal ring has at least two sections separated by at least one gap. At least one section may operate as a radiator through radio frequency (RF) feeding at least at one portion thereof. A second metal ring may be electrically connected, at least at one point thereof, to a ground of the electronic device or to the first metal ring. At least one section of the first metal ring may operate as a monopole antenna, as a PIFA antenna, or as a loop antenna, via suitable feeding.
