Abstract: An electronic device may include an antenna, a transceiver, and a low noise amplifier module that amplifies receive signals from the antenna to the transceiver circuitry in a first configuration and passes transmit signals from the transceiver to the antenna in a second configuration. The low noise amplifier module may include a first switching circuit coupled to the antenna, a second switching circuit coupled to the transceiver, at least one low noise amplifier coupled between the first and second switching circuits, and a transmit bypass path coupled between the first and second switching circuits. The transceiver may be located in a first electronic device region, whereas the low noise amplifier module and the antenna may be located in a second region. The low noise amplifier module may help compensate for signal loss between the first and second regions and allow for transmit signals to pass to the antenna.

Abstract: Electronic devices may include antenna structures. The antenna structures may form an antenna having first and second feeds at different locations. Transceiver circuitry for transmitting and receiving radio-frequency antenna signals may be mounted on one end of a printed circuit board. Transmission line structures may be used to convey signals between an opposing end of the printed circuit board and the transceiver circuitry. The printed circuit board may be coupled to an antenna feed structure formed from a flexible printed circuit using solder connections. The flexible printed circuit may have a bend and may be screwed to conductive electronic device housing structures using one or more screws at one or more respective antenna feed terminals. Electrical components such as an amplifier circuit and filter circuitry may be mounted on the flexible printed circuit.

Abstract: A wireless communication system may include an electronic device having an antenna element. The antenna element may convey radio-frequency signals greater than 10 GHz across a dielectric housing wall. A dielectric matching structure may be interposed between the antenna element and the dielectric housing wall. The wireless communication system may include external equipment having an antenna element communicatively coupled to the electronic device antenna element to convey firmware testing, debugging, restore, and/or other data via a near-field wireless communication link. The external equipment may be configured to receive the electronic device at an opening. A dielectric matching structure may be provided at the external equipment between the dielectric housing wall and the external equipment antenna element. The interior surface of the dielectric housing wall may have planar, convex, or concave portions.
