Zusammenfassung:A wearable computing device can include a slot antenna formed by a gap between a housing (such as a highly conductive housing) and a PCB within the highly conductive housing and by a back cavity between the highly conductive bracket and PCB or by a back cavity between the highly conductive bracket and the highly conductive housing. The printed circuit board is coupled to either the highly conductive bracket or highly conductive housing through a matching circuit and direct feed. The PCB is positioned near a display window of the device, above a battery and highly conductive bracket. This configuration allows for a relatively small dead band in the display window, a larger PCB, compact and mechanically simple configuration, and superior water resistance.
