Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with wireless circuitry and a housing having peripheral conductive housing structures. The wireless circuitry may include first and second antennas. The first antenna may have a resonating element arm formed from a first segment of the peripheral conductive housing structures. The second antenna may have a resonating element arm formed from a second segment of the peripheral conductive housing structures separated from the first segment by a gap. Switchable short paths may be coupled between the second segment and ground on opposing sides of an antenna feed for the second antenna and/or may be coupled between the first and second segments and ground on opposing sides of the gap. Additionally or alternatively, a switch may be coupled between the first and second segments across the gap and a tuning component may couple the second segment to the ground structures.

Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with sidewalls and a conductive plate. A segment of the sidewalls may form a radiating arm of an antenna. A display may be mounted to the sidewalls. The display may include a conductive frame and a flexible printed circuit. The flexible circuit may have a bend. Conductive foam may short a conductive trace on the flexible circuit to the conductive frame near the bend. Low injection pressure overmolding (LIPO) may be molded over the flexible circuit, the foam, and the frame. A conductive spring may short the frame to the conductive plate. The spring may include a wider and/or thinner portion that optionally includes one or more notches for reducing its inductance. The conductive plate, the spring, the frame, the foam, and the conductive trace may form part of the antenna ground for the antenna.

Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with peripheral conductive housing structures and a rear housing wall. The electronic device may have a display mounted to the peripheral conductive housing structures opposite the rear housing wall. The rear housing wall may have a dielectric cover layer and a conductive support plate that extends along the dielectric cover layer. The electronic device may have an antenna that radiates through the dielectric cover layer. The antenna may have a slot antenna resonating element that includes a first slot between the support plate and the peripheral structures and may include a second slot extending from the first slot into the support plate. A conductive interconnect may couple the support plate to the peripheral conductive housing structures at an end of the first slot. The antenna may be fed at a feed protrusion that extends into the second slot.

Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with peripheral conductive housing structures having first and second segments. A flexible printed circuit may have a first tail that extends along the first and second segments and a second tail that extends along the first segment. A conductive trace on the first tail may be coupled to an antenna feed terminal on the second segment. A conductive trace on the second tail may couple the conductive trace on the first tail to the first segment. A tuner and filters may be disposed on the flexible printed circuit and may be coupled to the conductive traces. The conductive trace on the second tail may have a tapered width. An antenna in the device may have a resonating element that includes both the first and second segments, thereby allowing the antenna to exhibit a wide bandwidth from 1.1-5 GHz.
