Abstract
An electronic device may include an antenna and a coaxial cable coupled to the antenna. The coaxial cable may have a signal conductor coupled to an antenna resonating element of the antenna and a ground conductor coupled to an antenna ground of the antenna. The ground conductor may include an ungrounded segment that is separated from the antenna ground by a gap. A capacitive coupling between the ground conductor in the ungrounded segment and the antenna ground via the gap may form an impedance matching component for the coaxial cable. A dielectric retention layer may overlap the coaxial cable and hold the coaxial cable in place relative to the antenna ground to maintain the gap.
