Abstract

An coupled antenna apparatus particularly well adapted for small form factor, metal encased applications that utilize satellite wireless links, e.g. GPS. Certain examples use electromagnetic feeding that includes one or more separate feed elements that are not galvanically connected to a radiator element of the antenna. Additionally, one radiator element of the antenna can be located on an outermost surface of a bezel of an electronic device, for example a wrist-wearable device. A low capacitance transient voltage suppressor diode is housed within an electronic device and electrically coupled to such an outer radiator element.
