Abstract:
A wearable computing device can include a monopole-excited slot antenna formed by a gap between a housing (such as a highly conductive housing) and a bracket (such as a highly conductive bracket) within the highly conductive housing and by a back cavity between the highly conductive bracket and the PCB. The antenna configuration can include a monopole antenna electrically coupled to a printed circuit board and a slot antenna that is excited through coupled electromagnetic fields. The highly conductive bracket is positioned near a display window of the device, mostly below and partially enclosing a battery. The highly conductive bracket is positioned above the printed circuit board. This configuration allows for a relatively small dead band in the display window, a larger battery, compact and mechanically simple configuration, and superior water resistance.

Claim (Index 1):
A computing device, comprising:\n a conductive housing having one or more interior surfaces; a power source; a conductive bracket having one or more edges or surfaces, the one or more edges or surfaces of the conductive bracket and the one or more interior surfaces of the conductive housing forming a gap there between; a monopole antenna; an antenna matching circuit; a printed circuit board (PCB) having one or more edges, the one or more edges of the PCB and the one or more interior surfaces of the conductive housing forming a gap there between, a portion of the gap forming a slot antenna, the PCB coupled to the monopole antenna through the antenna matching circuit and configured to drive a monopole radiator, wherein electromagnetic fields generated by the monopole antenna induce the slot antenna to transmit or receive radio frequency signals, further wherein the PCB and the conductive bracket form a back cavity therein, the back cavity comprising a dielectric gap and facilitating resonance of the slot antenna; and a display within the conductive housing, wherein a dead band of the display overlaps with a dead band of the monopole antenna; wherein the power source, the conductive bracket, the monopole antenna, the antenna matching circuit, and the PCB are within the conductive housing.
