Abstract
A peripheral electronic device () can be equipped with a coupler, which in one embodiment is a mechanical coupler (). A radio-frequency interface () allows a radio-frequency transceiver () of one electronic device to take advantage of one or more antennas () disposed within the peripheral electronic device (). For example, the radio-frequency interface () can increase the matrix channel order by making the at least some additional MIMO antennas available for usage by the radio-frequency transceiver (). The mechanical coupler can be configured to allow a camera or display of an inserted device to add image data functionality as well.
