Abstract:
1. An inverted-F antenna in an electronic device having a periphery and an exterior surface, a length, a width that is less than the length, and a height that is less than the width, comprising: a resonating element arm formed at least partly from conductive structures on the periphery at the exterior surface of the electronic device, wherein the conductive structures comprise a conductive bezel that surrounds the periphery of the electronic device; a feed leg that contacts the resonating element arm; a ground; a short circuit leg that connects an end of the resonating element arm to the ground; a first antenna feed terminal that is connected to the feed leg; a second antenna feed terminal that is coupled to the ground; and an additional short circuit leg connected between the resonating element arm and the ground in parallel with the short circuit leg, wherein the short circuit leg is formed at least partly from a first segment of the conductive bezel that extends across the height of the electronic device, the resonating element arm is formed at least partly from a second segment of the conductive bezel that extends across the height of the electronic device, and the first and second segments extend respectively along first and second perpendicular exterior surfaces of the electronic device.
