Abstract:
Electronic devices may be provided that contain wireless communications circuitry. The wireless communications circuitry may include radio-frequency transceiver circuitry and antenna structures. The antenna structures may form a dual arm inverted-F antenna. The antenna may have a resonating element formed from portions of a peripheral conductive electronic device housing member and may have an antenna ground that is separated from the antenna resonating element by a gap. A short circuit path may bridge the gap. An antenna feed may be coupled across the gap in parallel with the short circuit path. Low band tuning may be provided using an adjustable inductor that bridges the gap. The antenna may have a slot-based parasitic antenna resonating element with a slot formed between portions of the peripheral conductive electronic device housing member and the antenna ground. An adjustable capacitor may bridge the slot to provide high band tuning.
Abstract:
Electronic devices may include radio-frequency transceiver circuitry and antenna structures. The antenna structures may form a dual arm inverted-F antenna and a monopole antenna sharing a common antenna ground. The antenna structures may have three ports. A first antenna port may be coupled to an inverted-F antenna resonating element at a first location and a second antenna port may be coupled to the inverted-F antenna resonating element at a second location. A third antenna port may be coupled to the monopole antenna. Tunable circuitry can be used to tune the antenna structures. An adjustable capacitor may be coupled to the first port to tune the inverted-F antenna. An additional adjustable capacitor may be coupled to the third port to tune the monopole antenna. Transceiver circuitry for supporting wireless local area network communications, satellite navigation system communications, and cellular communications may be coupled to the first, second, and third antenna ports.
Abstract:
Electronic devices may include radio-frequency transceiver circuitry and antenna structures. The antenna structures may include an inverted-F antenna resonating element and an antenna ground that form an inverted-F antenna having first and second antenna ports. The antenna structures may include a slot antenna resonating element. The slot antenna resonating element may serve as a parasitic antenna resonating element for the inverted-F antenna at frequencies in a first communications band and may serve as a slot antenna at frequencies in a second communications band. The slot antenna may be directly fed using a third antenna port. An adjustable capacitor may be coupled to the first port to tune the inverted-F antenna. The inverted-F antenna may also be tuned using an adjustable capacitor bridging the slot antenna resonating element.
