Abstract: An electronic device may have an antenna for providing coverage in wireless communications bands of interest such as a low frequency communications band, a middle frequency communications band, and a high frequency communications band. Slot structures in the antenna that might reduce efficiency in the high frequency communications band may be avoided by capacitively loading the antenna and omitting meandering paths in the antenna. A capacitor may be coupled between an antenna ground formed from a metal housing structure and an antenna resonating element having a curved shape that conforms to the shape of the edge of the electronic device. The capacitor may have interdigitated fingers and may be adjustable to tune the antenna. The antenna may transmit and receive radio-frequency signals through a display cover layer in a display and a dielectric antenna window portion of the housing.

Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with antenna structures. Proximity sensors and other sensors may be used in determining how the electronic device is being operated. Wireless circuitry such as a radio-frequency transmitter associated with a cellular telephone communications band, a wireless local area network band, or other communications band may be used in transmitting radio-frequency signals through the antenna structures at a transmit power. Control circuitry may adjust the wireless circuitry to ensure that the transmit power is capped at a maximum transmit power. The maximum transmit power may be adjusted dynamically by the control circuitry based on data from the proximity sensors, data from a magnetic sensor that detects whether a cover is present on the device, a connector sensor that detects whether the device is coupled to a dock or other accessory, and other sensors.
