Abstract: Antenna structures and methods of operating the same of a configurable antenna of an electronic device are described. A configurable antenna includes a first antenna element coupled to a radio frequency (RF) feed, a controllable circuit coupled to the first antenna element and a second antenna element coupled to the controllable circuit. The controllable circuit is configured to electrically isolate the first antenna element and the second antenna element to configure the antenna structure to operate in a first antenna configuration having a first length and to electrically connect the first antenna element and the second antenna element to configure the antenna structure to operate in a second antenna configuration having a second length.

Abstract: Antenna structures of electronic devices and methods of operating the electronic devices with the antenna structures are described. One antenna structure includes a ground plane, a radio frequency (RF) feed, a first antenna element coupled to the RF feed, a second antenna element coupled to the RF feed and a third antenna element coupled to the ground plane at a grounding point. The third antenna element is at least partially disposed between the first and second antenna elements to form a first coupling between the first antenna element and the third antenna element, a second coupling between the second antenna element and the third antenna element and a third coupling between the second antenna element and the third antenna element.

Abstract: Antenna structures of electronic devices and methods of operating the electronic devices with the antenna structures are described. One apparatus includes a RF feed coupled to a first element and a second element of an antenna structure. The antenna structure also includes a parasitic grounding element coupled to a ground plane and is interleaved with the first element and second element to form at least a dual coupling with respect to the RF feed. The first element and second element are configured to operate as a feeding structure to a parasitic grounding element that is not conductively connected to the RF feed.
