Original Abstract Submitted
An electronic device may include one or more radios and one or more antennas. Radio-frequency transmission lines may couple a radio to an antenna feed structure. The antenna feed structure may be wireless coupled to one or more antenna resonating elements. An intervening slot element may be disposed between the antenna feed structure and the one or more antenna resonating elements. The antenna feed structure may be disposed on a package substrate forming an integrated circuit package. The one or more antenna resonating elements may be disposed on an antenna support structure. The integrated circuit package and the antenna support structure may be mounted to the same side or opposing sides of a system substrate.
