Abstract
A communication device includes a ground element and an antenna element. The antenna element includes a loop metal element and a branch metal element. The loop metal element is adjacent to an edge of the ground element. The loop metal element has a feeding end and a grounding end. The grounding end is coupled to the ground element. The feeding end is coupled through a capacitive element and a first inductive element to a signal source. A closed region is enclosed by the loop metal element and the edge of the ground element. The branch metal element is coupled through a second inductive element to a connection point on the loop metal element. The connection point is at the front-half portion of the loop metal element. The front-half portion includes the feeding end. The branch metal element substantially extends along an outer periphery of the loop metal element.
