Patent attributes
An antenna module with proximity sensing function is provided for being disposed inside an electronic device and comprises a ground plane, an antenna, a sensing element, an electrostatic protection element, a high-frequency blocking element and a capacitive proximity sensor. The antenna is coupled to the ground plane. The sensing element is connected to the capacitive proximity sensor through the high-frequency blocking element and produces a capacitance signal when sensing the approach of an object for accordingly reducing the output power of the antenna module. The electrostatic protection element is coupled between the sensing element and the ground plane, exhibits low/high impedance, respectively, at high/low frequency and further changes to an extremely low impedance to provide a conducting path to quickly lead a static high voltage to the ground plane for keeping the electronic device operating normally when the electronic device encounters the problem of the electrostatic discharge.
