摘要： Electronic devices may be provided with antenna structures such as distributed loop antenna resonating element structures. A distributed loop antenna may be formed on an elongated dielectric carrier and may have a longitudinal axis. The distributed loop antenna may include a loop antenna resonating element formed from a sheet of conductive material that extends around the longitudinal axis. A gap may be formed in the sheet of conductive material. The gap may be located under an opaque masking layer on the underside of a display cover glass associated with a display. The loop antenna resonating element may have a main body portion that includes the gap and may have an extended tail portion that extends between the display and conductive housing structures. The main body portion and extended tail portion may be configured to ensure that undesired waveguide modes are cut off during operation of the loop antenna.

摘要： A wireless electronic device may include antenna structures and antenna tuning circuitry. The device may include a display mounted within a housing. A peripheral conductive member may run around the edges of the display and housing. Dielectric-filled gaps may divide the peripheral conductive member into individual segments. A ground plane may be formed within the housing. The ground plane and the segments of the peripheral conductive member may form antennas in upper and lower portions of the housing. The antenna tuning circuitry may include switchable inductor circuits and variable capacitor circuits for the upper and lower antennas. The switchable inductor circuits associated with the upper antenna may be tuned to provide coverage in at least two high-band frequency ranges of interest, whereas the variable capacitor circuits associated with the upper antenna may be tuned to provide coverage in at least two low-band frequency ranges of interest.

摘要： Electronic devices may be provided with antenna structures and antenna isolation element structures. An antenna array may be located within an electronic device. The antenna array may have multiple antennas and interposed antenna isolation element structures for isolating the antennas from each other. An antenna isolation element structure may have a dielectric carrier with a longitudinal axis. A sheet of conductive material may extend around the longitudinal axis to form a conductive loop structure. The loop structure in the antenna isolation element may have a gap that spans the sheet of conductive material parallel to the longitudinal axis. Electronic components may bridge the gap. Control circuitry may adjust the electronic components to tune the antenna isolation element.
