Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with wireless circuitry and a housing with upper and lower ends. The lower end may include first and second open slot antennas that are directly fed by respective feeds and that radiate in a cellular ultra-high band. The lower end may also include first and second inverted-F antennas. The upper end may include third and fourth inverted-F antennas. The first inverted-F antenna may have a first feed that conveys currents below 2700 MHz and a second feed that conveys antenna currents in the cellular ultra-high band, a wireless local area network band, and/or ultra-wideband frequency bands. If desired, the upper end may include a third open slot antenna that is directly fed by a corresponding antenna feed and that radiates in the cellular ultra-high band and/or in the ultra-wideband frequency bands.

Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with first, second, and third antennas and a dock flex. A first feed terminal for the first antenna may be coupled to a second feed terminal for the second antenna over a first path. The first path may be coupled to ground over a second path. Tuning components may be interposed on the first and second paths. The third antenna may be patterned on a first portion of the dock flex. Front end components for the first antenna may be mounted to a second portion of the dock flex. The first and second portions may extend from a tail of the dock flex. The tail may be wrapped around a plastic support block to hold the second portion over the first portion. The plastic support block may have a snap hook clip that holds the second portion in place.

Abstract: A device with near-field communications (NFC) capabilities is provided. A housing may include first and second segments and a support plate separated from the segments by a slot. A first inductor may be coupled between the first segment and the plate. A second inductor may be coupled between the second segment and the plate. A transceiver may have a first signal terminal coupled to the first segment over a first path and a second signal terminal coupled to the second segment over a second path. The transceiver may convey differential signals in an NFC band over a loop path for an NFC antenna that includes the first conductive path, the first segment, the first inductor, a portion of the plate between the first and second inductors, the second inductor, the second segment, and the second conductive path. This may optimize wireless performance and volume for the NFC antenna.
