This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18477872 titled 'Electronic Device Having Support Plate Antenna

Original Abstract Submitted

An electronic device may be provided with peripheral conductive housing structures and a rear housing wall. The electronic device may have a display mounted to the peripheral conductive housing structures opposite the rear housing wall. The rear housing wall may have a dielectric cover layer and a conductive support plate that extends along the dielectric cover layer. The electronic device may have an antenna that radiates through the dielectric cover layer. The antenna may have a slot antenna resonating element that includes a first slot between the support plate and the peripheral structures and may include a second slot extending from the first slot into the support plate. A conductive interconnect may couple the support plate to the peripheral conductive housing structures at an end of the first slot. The antenna may be fed at a feed protrusion that extends into the second slot.
