Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with an antenna having a resonating element formed from a segment of peripheral conductive housing structures. A speaker may be aligned with first openings in the segment. A vent may be aligned with second openings in the segment. A connector may protrude through the segment. A trace combiner for the antenna may be patterned onto the speaker and may be coupled to the segment. Tuners for the antenna may be disposed on first and second flexible printed circuits that extend along opposing sides of the connector. The tuners may be controlled through the speaker. The second flexible printed circuit may extend along the vent. The vent may have a vent cowling with a cut-out region next to the tuner on the second flexible printed circuit.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a contaminant shield system. The contaminant shield system may surround an electronic device, such as a local oscillator (e.g., a crystal oscillator), to prevent contamination of the electronic device via coupling material (e.g., under-fill material) creep or wicking. The contaminant shield system includes multiple walls and at least one wall includes a pick-and-place feature that facilitates positioning of the contaminant shield system during assembly of a circuit board that includes the contaminant shield system.
