Abstract
According to one embodiment, an antenna for a wearable electronic device includes a first dielectric substrate with a first surface and a second surface located on opposite sides, a ground plate on the first surface, and a second dielectric substrate with a third surface and a fourth surface located on opposite sides. The third surface is bonded to the second surface and at least partially within an outer perimeter of the second surface. A radiating element is disposed on the fourth surface.

An antenna for a wearable electronic device, the antenna comprising:
- a first dielectric substrate with a first surface and a second surface located on opposite sides;
- a ground plate on the first surface;
- a second dielectric substrate with a third surface and a fourth surface located on opposite sides, the third surface bonded to the second surface and at least partially within an outer perimeter of the second surface;
- a radiating element on the fourth surface;
- a first conductive portion that extends from the ground plate to the radiating element in a first direction that is perpendicular to the first surface, the first conductive portion penetrating the first and second dielectric substrates in the first direction;
- and
- a second conductive portion that extends parallel to the first conductive portion from the ground plate to the radiating element through the first and second dielectric substrates, wherein
- the radiating element includes a pair of notches extending parallel to each other along the fourth surface and between which the second conductive portion contacts the radiating element.
