Antenna for wearable electronic devices

A system comprising:

• a plurality of loop antennas that are fused together to form a radiating element, the radiating element including at least first and second portions that are positioned opposite each other in a vertically non-overlapping manner;
• an electrically conductive via that directly, physically connects the first and second opposing portions of the radiating element;
• and
• an antenna feed electrically connected to the electrically conductive via, wherein the first portion of the radiating element is shorter in length than the second, opposite portion of the radiating element, forming a capacitive gap across the radiating element.
