Electronic Device Having Multiple Antennas with Shared Structures for Near-Field Communications and Non-Near-Field Communications

An electronic device comprising:

• a housing having first, second, and third conductive housing structures, wherein the second conductive housing structure is separated from the first conductive housing structure by a first dielectric-filled gap, the third conductive housing structure is separated from the first conductive structure by a second dielectric-filled gap, and the third conductive housing structure is separated from the second conductive housing structure by a third dielectric-filled gap;
• an inductor coupled between the second and third conductive housing structures across the third dielectric-filled gap;
• and
• near-field communications transceiver circuitry configured to convey near-field communications signals over a conductive loop path that includes the second and third conductive housing structures, the inductor, and a portion of the first conductive structure.

An electronic device comprising:

• a housing having peripheral conductive structures;
• first, second, and third dielectric-filled gaps in the peripheral conductive structures, wherein a first segment of the peripheral conductive structures extends between the first and third dielectric-filled gaps and a second segment of the peripheral conductive structures extends between the third and second dielectric-filled gaps;
• ground structures, wherein the first dielectric-filled gap separates the first segment from the ground structures and the second dielectric-filled gap separates the second segment from the ground structures;
• an inductor coupled between the first and second segments across the third dielectric filled-gap;
• and
• a near-field communications antenna that includes the first and second segments, the inductor, and a portion of the antenna ground.
