Electronic Device Antenna Carrier Coupled to Printed Circuit and Housing Structures

An electronic device, comprising:

• a first antenna having first metal antenna structures;
• a second antenna having second metal antenna structures, wherein the second metal antenna structures include a peripheral conductive housing structure that forms an antenna resonating element arm for the second antenna, wherein the second antenna includes an antenna ground, and wherein the second metal antenna structures include a return path coupled between the antenna resonating element arm and the antenna ground;
• and
• a plastic antenna carrier mounted to the housing, wherein at least some of the first metal antenna structures and at least some of the second metal antenna structures are supported by the plastic antenna carrier.

An electronic device, comprising:

• a cellular telephone antenna having an antenna ground, an inverted-F antenna resonating element formed from a peripheral conductive housing structure, and a return path;
• a wireless local area network antenna formed from the antenna ground and an antenna resonating element;
• and
• a plastic carrier that supports the return path and that supports the antenna resonating element of the wireless local area network antenna.
