1. A portable electronic device, comprising:
- a housing formed of radio-opaque material and having a bottom wall and sidewalls, wherein a top edge of the sidewalls defines a front opening and a bottom edge of at least one sidewall defines a first portion of a radio-frequency (RF) antenna window opening, and wherein a portion of the bottom wall has an internal edge that defines a second portion of the RF antenna window opening, the RF antenna window opening being opposite the front opening; and
a RF-transparent antenna window formed of a material that allows passage of RF energy is disposed within the RF antenna window opening, the RF-transparent antenna window having a first portion having a first curvature substantially the same as a curvature of the portion of the bottom wall having the internal edge and wherein a second portion of the RF-transparent antenna window at least partially surrounds the first portion and has a second curvature that transitions from the first curvature to a curvature of the sidewall having the bottom edge.

11. A portable electronic device, comprising:
-
a housing including a back wall and sidewalls that extend away from the back wall and that terminate at front edges that define a front opening and wherein a back edge of at least one sidewall defines a first portion of a radio-frequency (RF) antenna window opening, that is opposite to at least a portion of the front opening; a front panel formed of a first RF transparent material carried at the front edges and within the front opening; and a rear panel formed of a second RF transparent material carried within the RF antenna window opening, the rear panel being smaller than the front panel. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)
