1. An electronic device comprising:

  • a housing comprising an electrically conductive continuous closed ring around a periphery thereof;

    wireless transceiver circuitry carried by said housing and comprising a plurality of circuit elements; and

    a plurality of current shunt components carried by said housing, each of the plurality of current shunt components being electrically coupled between said electrically conductive continuous closed ring and a common node of a group of circuit elements of said plurality of circuit elements to define a plurality of unit cells, the plurality of unit cells comprising passband unit cells and stopband unit cells that are arranged to cause said electrically conductive continuous closed ring to have at least one current carrying portion and at least one non-current carrying portion, wherein each of the plurality of unit cells comprises a subset of the plurality of circuit elements and one of the plurality of current shunt components that are positioned orthogonal to each other along an X, Y and Z axis, respectively.
