DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0012] Computing devices including, but not limited to, mobile phones, smart phones, tablet computers, and notebook computers may transmit and receive data through wireless signals via an antenna. In some examples, an antenna may experience interference and/or may not perform as expected when positioned near and/or in contact with another antenna. In some examples, computing devices such as mobile phones, smart phones, tablet computers, notebook computers, etc. may include conductive substrates such as metals, carbon fiber composites, etc. However, the conductive substrates may cause signal interference with the computing device^’s antenna system. As such, examples described herein, may include a flexible antenna belt to reduce signal interference with the computing device’s antenna system.
