1. An electronic device comprising:
a housing comprising peripheral conductive housing sidewalls and a dielectric housing layer coupled to the peripheral conductive housing sidewalls;
a dielectric substrate having a surface that is mounted against the dielectric housing layer; and
a phased antenna array having parasitic elements at the surface of the dielectric substrate and antenna resonating elements overlapping the parasitic elements, wherein the phased antenna array is configured to convey radio-frequency signals at a frequency between 10 GHz and 300 GHz through the dielectric housing layer.
