The invention concerns an assembly for an antenna operating in a slot mode. It is also directed to an electronic wristwatch-like device comprising such antennas. The antenna assembly comprises at least one circuit board of an electronic device, a conductive body arranged at a distance from said at least one circuit board, at least one feed element for coupling an electromagnetic signal between said conductive body and said circuit board, and wherein at least one conductive rim structure is running peripheral to at least one said circuit board. The conductive rim and the conductive body define at least one slot mode antenna between themselves. The length of a slot mode antenna is defined between two points at which said conductive body is connected to said conductive rim.
An assembly for an antenna operating in a slot mode, wherein the assembly comprises at least one circuit board of an electronic device, a conductive body arranged at a distance from said at least one circuit board, and wherein at least one conductive rim structure located along at least part of the periphery of least one said circuit board, wherein said conductive rim and said conductive body defines at least one slot mode antenna between themselves, and wherein the length of a slot mode antenna is defined between two connection points at which said conductive body is connected to said conductive rim, and wherein between said connection points is located at least one feed element for coupling an electromagnetic signal from the slot mode antenna to said circuit board.
An electronic wristwatch-like device comprising a housing, at least one circuit board inside said housing, a conductive bezel arranged at a distance from said circuit board as part of said housing, and at least one conductive rim structure located along at least part of the periphery of at least one said circuit board, wherein said conductive rim and said conductive bezel defines at least one slot mode antenna between themselves, and wherein the length of a slot mode antenna is defined between two connection points at which said conductive bezel is connected to said conductive rim, and wherein between said connection points is located at least one feed element for coupling an electromagnetic signal from the slot mode antenna to said circuit board.
