Wearable Electronic Device Adapted for Supporting Wireless Communications
The present invention provides a wearable electronic device adapted for supporting wireless radio frequency communications including at least one of generating or receiving a wireless radio frequency signal. The wearable electronic device includes a conductive housing, which has a main body and at least a first pair of conductive lugs external to and mechanically coupled to the main body. Each of the conductive lugs has a first end that is mechanically coupled to the main body of the conductive housing and a second end which extends away from the main body along a length of the conductive lug. The main body of the conductive housing forms at least part of an antenna structure that is adapted for at least one of generating or receiving the wireless radio frequency signal. The wearable electronic device further includes a non-conductive pin, which extends between the second ends of the first pair of conductive lugs, and a use location attachment. The use location attachment mechanically couples the conductive housing of the wearable electronic device to a use location via the non-conductive pin and the first pair of conductive lugs. The use location attachment includes a plurality of segments, where at least one of the segments, which most closely mechanically couples to the non-conductive pin and the first pair of conductive lugs, is nonconductive, and where other ones of the plurality of segments of the use location attachment are conductive.
