Abstract

The present invention relates to electronic device antennas including conductive display structures. The present invention discloses an electronic device. The electronic device may be provided with wireless circuitry and control circuitry. The wireless circuitry may include multiple antennas and transceiver circuitry. An antenna in the electronic device may have an inverted-F antenna resonating element formed from portions of a peripheral conductive electronic device housing structure and may have an antenna ground that is separated from the antenna resonating element by a gap. The antenna ground for the antenna may include a conductive frame for the display. The conductive frame may have a first portion that is separated from the antenna resonating element arm by a first distance and a second portion that is that is separated from the antenna resonating element arm by a second distance that is less than the first distance. The second portion may be configured to form a distributed impedance matching capacitance with the antenna resonating element arm.

Description

[0001] This patent application claims priority to US Application 15 / 701,250, filed September 11, 2017, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. Background technique [0002] The present invention relates generally to electronic devices, and more particularly to electronic devices having wireless communication circuitry. [0003] The electronic device typically includes wireless communication circuitry. For example, cellular telephones, computers, and other devices often contain antennas and wireless transceivers to support wireless communications. [0004] Forming electronic device antenna structures with desired properties can be challenging. In some wireless devices, the antenna is bulky. In other devices, the antenna is compact but sensitive to the position of the antenna relative to external objects. If care is not taken, the antenna can become mistuned, can transmit wireless signals with more or less power than desired, or otherwise not perform as des...
