    Abstract: Handheld electronic devices are provided that contain wireless communications circuitry. The wireless communications circuitry may include antenna structures. An antenna may be located in an upper right corner of the handheld device as the handheld device is operated in a portrait mode. When the handheld device is rotated counterclockwise and operated in a landscape mode, the antenna is located in an unobstructed upper left corner of the device. The antenna may be formed from a strip of conductor. A proximal end of the strip of conductor may be connected to a transmission line. A distal end of the strip of conductor may be routed away from housing surfaces by bends formed in the strip. A printed circuit board in the handheld electronic device may have a hole. The distal end of the strip of conductor may be located adjacent to the hole.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a tunable multiport antenna circuitry comprising: a substantially planar radiating element; a circuit board having a ground conductive path and first and second antenna feed conductive paths; a ground electrical connecting structure that connects the ground conductive path to the radiating element and serves as a ground terminal for the radiating element; a first feed electrical connecting structure that electrically connects the first feed conductive path on the circuit board to the radiating element at a first location and serves as a first feed terminal for the radiating element, wherein the first feed terminal and the ground terminal form a first antenna port through which antenna signals are transmitted and received; and a second feed electrical connecting structure that electrically connects the second feed conductive path on the circuit board to the radiating element at a second location distinct from the first location and serves as a second feed terminal for the radiating element, wherein the second feed terminal and the second ground terminal form a second antenna port through which antenna signals are transmitted and received, and a method for using a tunable multiport antenna in a handheld electronic device

    Abstract: Antennas, handheld electronic devices containing antennas, and methods for using antennas and handheld electronic devices are provided. A handheld device may have a conductive case. The antenna can be formed as part of a button such as a pushbutton. The pushbutton may protrude from the conductive case sufficiently to allow good transmission and reception of wireless signals. The protruding antenna contains a radiating element, while the conductive case serves as a ground. The radiating element may be formed from a low-profile antenna structure such as a planar antenna structure formed on a circuit board substrate. The pushbutton may be used to control operation of the handheld electronic device. With one suitable arrangement, actuation of the pushbutton antenna causes the antenna to protrude from the case and turns on transceiver circuitry in the handheld device.
