Abstract
An electronic device may be provided with wireless circuitry. The wireless circuitry may include multiple antennas and transceiver circuitry. An antenna may have an antenna resonating element formed from portions of a peripheral conductive electronic device housing structure and may have an antenna ground that is separated from the antenna resonating element by a gap. The antenna ground for the antenna may include a first conductive structure that is separated from the antenna resonating element by a first distance and a second conductive structure that is electrically connected to the first conductive structure and separated from the antenna resonating element by a second distance that is less than the first distance. A distributed impedance matching capacitor for the antenna may be formed from the second conductive structure and the antenna resonating element arm. The second conductive structure may be a conductive frame for an electronic component such as a sensor.
