Abstract

Antenna structures of electronic devices and methods of operating the electronic devices with the antenna structures are described. One apparatus includes a RF feed coupled to a first element and a second element of an antenna structure. The antenna structure also includes a parasitic grounding element coupled to a ground plane and is interleaved with the first element and second element to form at least a dual coupling with respect to the RF feed. The first element and second element are configured to operate as a feeding structure to a parasitic grounding element that is not conductively connected to the RF feed.
