    摘要: Electronic devices are provided that contain wireless communications circuitry. The wireless communications circuitry may include radio-frequency transceiver circuitry and antenna structures. A display may be mounted on a front face of an electronic device. A conductive member such as a bezel may surround the display. Internal housing support structures such as a metal midplate member may be used to support the display. The midplate member may be connected between opposing edges of the bezel. The antenna structures may include an antenna formed from part of the midplate member and part of the bezel. Antenna image currents in the midplate member may be blocked by slots in the midplate member. The slots may be located adjacent to the antenna and may ensure that the antenna emits radio-frequency signals in a desired pattern. The slots may be angled and segmented.

    摘要: Electronic devices may be provided that contain wireless communications circuitry. The wireless communications circuitry may include radio-frequency transceiver circuitry coupled to multiple antennas though a passive coupler. When transmitting signals, the passive coupler can divide transmitted signals between each of the multiple antennas. When using the antennas to receive signals, the received signals can be combined using the passive coupler. The combined signals may be provided to a receiver in the transceiver circuitry. A tap may be interposed in a path between the passive coupler and one of the antennas to monitor radio-frequency signal power. Phase-shift elements may be interposed in the paths between the antennas and the passive coupler to adjust the relative phase between signals associated with the first and second antennas.
