Original Abstract Submitted
A head-mounted device may have a housing with a cover having three-dimensional curvature. A front-facing display may be mounted to the cover and may display images through the cover. The cover may have a peripheral region laterally surrounding the front-facing display. An antenna may have an antenna resonating element layered onto the cover overlapping the peripheral region. The antenna may be switchable between a first polarization state and a second polarization state. In the first polarization state, the antenna conveys radio-frequency signals having a first polarization with an earbud. In the second polarization state, the antenna conveys radio-frequency signals having a second polarization with the earbud. One or more processors may gather wireless performance metric data from the radio-frequency signals and may adjust the antenna between the polarization states to optimize the wireless performance metric data.
