Abstract: An electronic device may have conductive sidewalls, a conductive turret, and a conductive bridge. The turret may be separated from the sidewalls by a slot. A display may be mounted to the turret and may include conductive display structures and a conductive ring that couples the display to the turret. An antenna in the device may have a radiating element formed from the conductive display structures, the ring, and the turret. The conductive bridge may form a short path across the slot to the sidewalls. The slot may define radiating edges of the radiating element. Integrating the antenna into the device in this way may maximize the bandwidth of the antenna by extending the antenna area to include the entire lateral area of the electronic device. This may also serve to maximize the active area of the display.

Abstract: An electronic device may have conductive sidewalls and a rear wall. The rear wall may have a first portion mounted to the sidewalls and a second portion protruding away from the first portion to define a cavity. A sensor board may be mounted within the cavity. A coil structure may be mounted within the cavity and surrounding the sensor board. An antenna may have an antenna ground separated from a patch element by an antenna volume. The patch element may include a first conductive trace on the first portion of the rear wall, a second conductive trace on the sensor board, and a conductive interconnect structure that couples the first conductive trace to the second conductive trace. The coil structure may be disposed outside of the antenna to minimize impact of the coil structure on performance of the antenna.

Abstract: An electronic device may include a rear housing wall, antenna resonating element, sensor board, and grounding ring. The grounding ring may couple antenna currents from the resonating element onto a ground trace on the sensor board. A switchable inductor may couple the grounding ring to the ground traces. The switchable inductor may be used to tune a frequency response of the antenna in a cellular low band. Additionally or alternatively, an inductor may couple the resonating element to the ground traces or other portions of an antenna ground. This inductor may serve to extend the effective length of the antenna resonating element in the cellular low band to compensate for dielectric loading by the rear housing wall, such as in examples where the rear housing wall is formed from zirconia.
