Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A wearable electronic device is described. The wearable electronic device includes two communications antennae. A first antenna of the two is a current-carrying antenna electrically and physically connected to a printed circuit board of the wearable electronic device and housed in a first portion of a housing that is configured for mounting on a person's skin. A second antenna of the two is a scatterer antenna physically connected to an interior surface of a second portion of the housing and configured to overlap a portion of the current-carrying antenna. The second portion of the housing faces away from the person's skin when the wearable device is mounted on the person's skin. Current from the current-carrying antenna is induced in the scatterer antenna to enable communications between the wearable electronic device and one or more other electronic devices.
