An electronic device includes a housing defining first and second user interface areas, a touch-sensitive display disposed in the first user interface area, and a conductive structure disposed along the housing in the second user interface area. The electronic device further includes a capacitive touch controller disposed within the housing and coupled to the conductive structure, the capacitive touch controller being configured to capture user interaction with the conductive structure, and a transceiver disposed within the housing and coupled to the conductive structure, the transceiver being configured for radio frequency (RF) communications. The conductive structure is configured for operation as an antenna to support the RF communications.
