1. A mobile electronic device, comprising:
a display;
an enclosure supporting the display and comprising a conductive portion;
a ground plane positioned within the enclosure, wherein a gap defined between the conductive portion of the enclosure and the ground plane forms a slot antenna that is configured to radiate first electromagnetic signals through a portion of the display, the first electromagnetic signals radiated by the slot antenna being solely used for wireless communication in a first wireless communication band;
a patch antenna, comprising a substantially planar conductor, that is configured to radiate second electromagnetic signals, the second electromagnetic signals radiated by the patch antenna being solely used for wireless communication in a second wireless communication band different from and non-overlapping with the first wireless communication band; and
a battery comprising a conductive outer casing, wherein a gap defined between the conductive portion of the enclosure and the conductive outer casing of the battery forms the slot antenna that is configured to radiate the first electromagnetic signals through the portion of the display.
