Abstract
A portable computing device may comprise a display, a frame, and a communication circuit. The frame may support the display. At least a portion of the frame may be electrically conductive, and the electrically conductive portion of the frame may define a slot. The communication circuit may be coupled to the slot. The communication circuit may be configured to generate a fringing field. The fringing field may include electromagnetic waves with a wavelength at least eight times a width of the slot in a widest direction of the slot.
