Abstract
A wireless communication system may include an electronic device having an antenna element. The antenna element may convey radio-frequency signals greater than 10 GHz across a dielectric housing wall. A dielectric matching structure may be interposed between the antenna element and the dielectric housing wall. The wireless communication system may include external equipment having an antenna element communicatively coupled to the electronic device antenna element to convey firmware testing, debugging, restore, and/or other data via a near-field wireless communication link. The external equipment may be configured to receive the electronic device at an opening. A dielectric matching structure may be provided at the external equipment between the dielectric housing wall and the external equipment antenna element. The interior surface of the dielectric housing wall may have planar, convex, or concave portions.
