Claim:
1. An electronic device, comprising: a housing having conductive structures that form an antenna ground and having peripheral conductive housing structures that run around at least some edges of the housing; radio-frequency receiver circuitry; an inverted-F antenna that is formed from the antenna ground and an inverted-F antenna resonating element that is separated from the antenna ground by an opening, wherein the inverted-F antenna resonating element is formed from a segment of the peripheral conductive housing structures that is located between first and second gaps in the peripheral conductive housing structures, a first antenna feed terminal is coupled to the segment, and a second antenna feed terminal is coupled to the antenna ground; and an additional antenna, wherein the additional antenna is configured to transmit and receive radio-frequency signals in a plurality of cellular telephone bands, and wherein the receiver circuitry is configured to only receive radio-frequency signals in a subset of the plurality of cellular telephone bands over the inverted-F antenna.
