Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems including an electronic apparatus having a configurable sector cavity antenna integrated into a PCB. The configurable sector cavity antenna may include a first panel embedded within a first layer of the PCB along an edge of the first layer, and a second panel embedded within a second layer of the PCB along an edge of the second layer. The configurable sector cavity antenna may further include a fixed via wall to couple the first panel and the second panel along an inner edge of the first panel and the inner edge of the second panel, and a switchable via wall to selectively couple multiple interior points of the first panel and multiple interior points of the second panel.

Abstract: A wearable electronic device includes a first member and a second member. The second member includes a first, RF-attenuating, portion and a second, electrically conductive portion. A gap exists between the first member and at least the second portion of the second member. One or more transmitter/receivers, such as one or more BLUETOOTH®, BLUETOOTH® low energy, and/or IEEE 802.11 transceivers may be mounted in the first member. The one or more transmitter/receivers are conductively coupled to the second portion of the second member. RF signals generated by the one or more transceivers are emitted from the second portion of the second member.

Abstract: Embodiments herein relate to the detection and switchable use of a detachable GNSS antenna with a wearable electronic device. In various embodiments, a wearable electronic apparatus may include a multi-band antenna to receive satellite positioning signals in a first frequency band and local radio frequency communication signals in a second frequency band, an antenna connector to optionally receive a detachable satellite positioning antenna, and a switch having a switching terminal, a first input terminal coupled with the multi-band antenna, a second input terminal coupled with the antenna connector, and an output terminal, wherein the switch is to selectively connect the first input terminal or the second input terminal to the output terminal, in response to a state of a switching signal received at the switching terminal. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.

Abstract: Example customizable example customizable wearable electronic devices, and methods of assembling the same are disclosed.
