Abstract

An electronic device may be provided with peripheral conductive housing structures, a rear wall, a first antenna, and a second antenna. The first antenna may have a resonating element formed from the peripheral conductive housing structures. The second antenna may have a folded antenna element overlapping the first antenna. The folded element may be disposed on at least three sides of a substrate. The folded element may follow a meandering path along at least two of the sides. A first end of the folded element may be coupled to a positive feed terminal. A second end of the folded element may be shorted to a conductive chassis. The folded element may exhibit minimum peak current magnitude at a surface of the substrate facing the rear wall, minimizing electromagnetic coupling between the first and second antennas and optimizing a radiation pattern of the second antenna through the rear wall.
