  • Electronic device with rear wall antenna parasitic
    Patent number: 12671179
    Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with peripheral conductive housing structures, a rear wall, and a vent that includes a conductive cowling. The device may include an antenna having an antenna arm coupled to a positive antenna feed terminal and having a parasitic element. The parasitic element may be formed from a conductive trace that is layered onto the rear wall, that is indirectly fed by the antenna arm, and that overlaps a portion of the conductive cowling. The parasitic element may be shorted to a conductive bracket on the rear wall or may be separated from the bracket by a gap. If desired, the conductive cowling may form some or all of a parasitic element for the antenna. The conductive cowling may be indirectly fed by the conductive trace and/or may include an extension that is indirectly fed by the antenna arm.
