Abstract: An electronic device may have conductive sidewalls, a conductive turret, and a conductive bridge. The turret may be separated from the sidewalls by a slot. A display may be mounted to the turret and may include conductive display structures and a conductive ring that couples the display to the turret. An antenna in the device may have a radiating element formed from the conductive display structures, the ring, and the turret. The conductive bridge may form a short path across the slot to the sidewalls. The slot may define radiating edges of the radiating element. Integrating the antenna into the device in this way may maximize the bandwidth of the antenna by extending the antenna area to include the entire lateral area of the electronic device. This may also serve to maximize the active area of the display.

Abstract: An electronic device may have conductive sidewalls and a rear wall. The rear wall may have a first portion mounted to the sidewalls and a second portion protruding away from the first portion to define a cavity. A sensor board may be mounted within the cavity. A coil structure may be mounted within the cavity and surrounding the sensor board. An antenna may have an antenna ground separated from a patch element by an antenna volume. The patch element may include a first conductive trace on the first portion of the rear wall, a second conductive trace on the sensor board, and a conductive interconnect structure that couples the first conductive trace to the second conductive trace. The coil structure may be disposed outside of the antenna to minimize impact of the coil structure on performance of the antenna.
