    Abstract: Electronic devices may include radio-frequency transceiver circuitry and antenna structures. The antenna structures may include a dual arm inverted-F antenna resonating element and an antenna ground. An antenna feed may be coupled between the inverted-F antenna resonating element and the antenna ground. An adjustable component such as an adjustable inductor may be coupled between the inverted-F antenna resonating element and the antenna ground in parallel with the antenna feed. The adjustable component may be operable in multiple states such as an open circuit state, a short circuit state, and a state in which the adjustable component exhibits a non-zero inductance. Antenna bandwidth can be broadened by coupling a loop antenna resonating element across the antenna feed. A portion of the antenna ground may overlap the loop antenna resonating element to further enhance antenna bandwidth.

    Abstract: A test system may include test stations for testing the radio-frequency performance of wireless electronic devices. A reference test station may perform test measurements on a group of wireless electronic devices under test (DUTs) to select a reference DUT. The reference test station may gather radio-frequency measurements at a number of test frequencies from the group of DUTs. The reference test station may compute statistical data associated with the gathered measurements. The reference test station may compute weight values associated with each test frequency based on the statistical parameters. The reference test station may compute a weighted mean square error value for each DUT based on the weight values and the statistical data. The reference test station may select a DUT having a minimum weighted mean square error value to serve as the reference DUT, which may be used to calibrate test stations in the test system.

    Abstract: An electronic device such as a wristwatch may have a housing with metal sidewalls and a display having conductive display structures. The display structures may be separated from the sidewalls by a slot for an antenna that runs around the display module. A conductive interconnect may be coupled between the sidewalls and the display structures. A feed and tuning element may be coupled between the display structures and the sidewalls. A first length of the slot from the interconnect to the tuning element may radiate in a satellite band and a cellular band. A second length of the slot from the interconnect to the feed may radiate in a 2.4 GHz band. Harmonics of the second length may radiate in bands at and above 5.0 GHz. If desired clip and blade structures may form conductive paths for coupling antenna elements.

    Abstract: An electronic device such as a wristwatch may have a housing with metal sidewalls and a display having conductive display structures. Printed circuits having corresponding ground traces may be coupled to the display for conveying data to and/or from the display. The conductive display structures may be separated from the metal sidewalls by a gap. A conductive interconnect may be coupled to the metal sidewalls and may extend across the gap to the conductive display structures. The conductive interconnect may be coupled to the ground traces on the printed circuits and/or may be shorted or capacitively coupled to the conductive display structures. When configured in this way, the metal sidewalls, the conductive display structures, and the conductive interconnect may define the edges of a slot antenna resonating element for a slot antenna.
