Abstract of the Disclosure An electronic device may have wireless circuitry with antennas. An antenna resonating element arm for an antenna may be formed from peripheral conductive structures running along the edges of a device housing. Elongated conductive members may longitudinally divide openings between the peripheral conductive housing structures and the ground. The elongated conductive members may extend from an internal ground to outer ends of the elongated conductive members that are located adjacent to the gaps. Transmission lines may extend along the elongated conductive members to antenna feeds at the outer ends. The elongated conductive members may form open slots that serve as slot antenna resonating elements for the antenna. Al 16934-B10 964-2____________A 96-1 0 94----32 92-1 940 130-IAFIG 7X 102

Abstract of the Disclosure An electronic device may have components mounted in a housing. The device may include wireless transceiver circuitry and antenna structures. A display may be mounted in the housing. The display may have a cover layer having an inner surface with a recess. The recess may run along a peripheral edge of the cover layer. An antenna structure such as an inverted-F antenna resonating element may be formed from a metal trace on a dielectric antenna carrier. The resonating element may be mounted in the recess without adhesive. Conductive vias may pass through the dielectric carrier. Metal members with dimples may be soldered to a flexible printed circuit and may be used to ground metal traces on the carrier and the flexible printed circuit to the housing when the carrier is attached to the housing with fasteners.

Abstract of the Disclosure Electronic devices are provided that contain wireless communications circuitry. The wireless communications circuitry may include radio-frequency transceiver circuitry and antenna structures. A parallel 5 fed loop antenna may be formed from portions of a conductive bezel and a ground plane. The antenna may operate in multiple communications bands. The bezel may surround a peripheral portion of a display that is mounted to the front of an electronic device. The bezel may 10 contain a gap. Antenna feed terminals for the antenna may be located on opposing sides of the gap. A variable capacitor may bridge the gap. An inductive element may bridge the gap and the antenna feed terminals. A switchable inductor may be coupled in parallel with the 15 inductive element. Tunable matching circuitry may be coupled between one of the antenna feed terminals and a conductor in a coaxial cable connecting the transceiver circuitry to the antenna.

An electronic device (10) has wireless communications circuitry (34) including an adjustable antenna system (40) coupled to a radio-frequency transceiver (90). The adjustable antenna system (40) may include one or more adjustable electrical components (168) that are controlled by storage and processing circuitry (28) in the electronic device (10). The adjustable electrical components (168) may include switches and components that can be adjusted between numerous different states. The adjustable electrical components (168) may be coupled between antenna system components such as transmission line elements (140), matching network elements (152), antenna elements (160) and antenna feeds. By adjusting the adjustable electrical components, the storage and processing circuitry (28) can tune the adjustable antenna system (40) to ensure that the adjustable antenna system (40) covers communications bands of interest.
