1. An electronic device comprising:
a housing having peripheral conductive housing structures;
a dielectric cover layer on the housing;
a circuit board;
a dielectric substrate on the circuit board;
a bent dielectric resonating element embedded in the dielectric substrate and configured to convey radio-frequency signals through the dielectric cover layer; and
a display having a display panel, wherein the dielectric cover layer covers the display panel, the bent dielectric resonating element being configured to convey the radio-frequency signals through a gap between the display panel and the peripheral conductive housing structures.
