Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 18:
19. An electronic device comprising:
peripheral conductive housing structures having a dielectric-filled gap that separates a first segment of the peripheral conductive housing structures from a second segment of the peripheral conductive housing structures;
ground structures separated from the first and second segments by a slot;
a first positive antenna feed terminal;
a second positive antenna feed terminal; and
switching circuitry, wherein the switching circuitry has
a first state in which the first positive antenna feed terminal and the first segment are configured to convey radio-frequency signals in a frequency band while a short circuit impedance in the frequency band is formed between the second segment and the ground structures, and
a second state in which the second positive antenna feed terminal and the second segment are configured to convey radio-frequency signals in the frequency band while a short circuit impedance in the frequency band is formed between the first segment and the ground structures.
