Abstract: An electronic device may include an antenna and a coaxial cable coupled to the antenna. The coaxial cable may have a signal conductor coupled to an antenna resonating element of the antenna and a ground conductor coupled to an antenna ground of the antenna. The ground conductor may include an ungrounded segment that is separated from the antenna ground by a gap. A capacitive coupling between the ground conductor in the ungrounded segment and the antenna ground via the gap may form an impedance matching component for the coaxial cable. A dielectric retention layer may overlap the coaxial cable and hold the coaxial cable in place relative to the antenna ground to maintain the gap.

Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with an antenna module having a substrate. A phased antenna array of dielectric resonator antennas and a radio-frequency integrated circuit for the array may be mounted to one or more surfaces of the substrate. The dielectric resonator antennas may include dielectric columns excited by feed probes. The feed probes may be printed onto sidewalls of the dielectric columns or may be pressed against the sidewalls by biasing structures. A plastic substrate may be molded over each dielectric column and each of the feed probes in the array. The feed probes may cover multiple polarizations. The array may include elements for covering multiple frequency bands. The dielectric columns may be aligned a longitudinal axis and may be rotated at a non-zero and non-perpendicular angle with respect to the longitudinal axis.
