Abstract
An electronic device may include a metal housing and a distributed loop antenna. The antenna may include a dielectric carrier. The antenna may include a distributed loop antenna resonating element that extends around the carrier and a loop antenna feed element on the carrier. Portions of the feed element and loop antenna resonating element may be formed from the housing. The feed element may be directly fed and may indirectly feed the distributed loop antenna resonating element via near field electromagnetic coupling. The loop antenna resonating element may include a conductive sheet on the carrier. The conductive sheet and the housing may form a conductive loop path of the loop antenna resonating element. A capacitance may be interposed in the conductive loop path and may be formed by a gap between the conductive sheet and the housing. A speaker driver may be placed within a cavity in the carrier.
