Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with wireless circuitry including first and second patch antennas. The first patch antenna may include a first resonating element formed over a ground plane. The second patch antenna may include a second resonating element over the first resonating element. A cross-shaped parasitic element may be formed over the second resonating element. First and second feed terminals may be coupled to the second resonating element. An opening may be formed in the first resonating element. First and second transmission lines may be coupled to the first and second feed terminals through the opening. The cross-shaped parasitic element may include arms that overlap the first and second feed terminals. The first resonating element may cover first frequencies between 10 GHz and 300 GHz and the second resonating element may cover second frequencies that are higher than the first frequencies.

Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with wireless circuitry. The wireless circuitry may include one or more antennas. The antennas may include millimeter wave antenna arrays formed from arrays of patch antennas, dipole antennas or other millimeter wave antennas on millimeter wave antenna array substrates. Circuitry such as upconverter and downconverter circuitry may be mounted on the substrates. The upconverter and downconverter may be coupled to wireless communications circuitry such as a baseband processor circuit using an intermediate frequency signal path. The electronic device may have opposing front and rear faces. A display may cover the front face. A rear housing wall may cover the rear face. A metal midplate may be interposed between the display and rear housing wall. Millimeter wave antenna arrays may transmit and receive antenna signals through the rear housing wall.

Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with wireless circuitry, a conductive housing, and a display. The display may have an active area that displays image data and an inactive area that does not display image data. The active area may completely surround the inactive area at a front face of the device. A speaker port may be aligned with the inactive area and may emit sound through the inactive area. The wireless circuitry may include first and second antenna arrays. The first array may be configured to transmit and receive wireless signals at frequencies between 10 GHz and 300 GHz through the inactive area of the display. The second array may be configured to transmit and receive wireless signals at frequencies between 10 GHz and 300 GHz through a slot in a rear wall of the conductive housing. Control circuitry may perform beam steering using the first and second arrays.
