Abstract
An electronic device may include a substrate, and a patch antenna carried by the substrate. The patch antenna may include an electrically conductive mesh layer having a perimeter defined by perimeter segments including at least one pair of arcuate perimeter segments with a cusp therebetween. The patch antenna may also include at least one antenna feed coupled to the patch antenna.
