Abstract: An electronic device comprises a housing, a display stack, a bezel, a solar cell, and a first antenna. The housing includes a bottom wall and a side wall coupled to the bottom wall, the side wall and the bottom wall define a portion of an internal cavity. The display stack includes a display cover and a solar cell configured to output an electric power having a power level corresponding to an intensity of light received by the solar cell. The bezel is coupled to an upper edge of the side wall of the housing, the bezel enclosing the display cover. The solar cell includes a substrate and a photovoltaic layer, the photovoltaic layer including a mesh of electrically conductive material positioned on the substrate and a first opening. The first antenna is formed by the first opening of the photovoltaic layer.

Abstract: A wrist-worn electronic device comprises a bezel, an antenna, and an aperture tuning network. The bezel is formed at least partially from electrically conductive material and positioned along a side wall of a housing of the device. The antenna includes a first aperture and a second aperture which are formed by various portions of the bezel. The antenna is configured to operate in one of two operating modes including a dual band mode in which the first aperture receives a first global navigation satellite system (GNSS) wireless signal at a first frequency band and the second aperture receives a second GNSS wireless signal at a second frequency band, and a single band mode in which the first aperture and the second aperture each receive the first GNSS wireless signal. The aperture tuning network has an adjustable configuration wherein adjustment of the adjustable configuration changes the operating mode of the antenna.

Abstract: A wrist-worn electronic device comprises a housing, a bezel, a location determining element, a communication element, and four antennas. The housing includes a bottom wall contacting a wearer's wrist and a side wall coupled to the bottom wall. The bezel is formed at least partially from electrically conductive material and positioned along an upper edge of the side wall. Two antennas receive a first global navigation satellite system (GNSS) location signals at a first frequency and a second frequency that are used by the location determining element, each antenna including a radiating element formed by a portion of the circumference of the bezel. Two antennas transmit or receive communication protocol wireless signals at a third frequency and a fourth frequency output by or communicated to the communication element, each antenna including a radiating element formed by a portion of the circumference of the bezel.
