    Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with an antenna having a resonating element. The resonating element may have first and second arms extending from opposing sides of a feed. The first arm may have a fundamental mode that radiates in a first communications band such as a 5.0 GHz wireless local area network band. The second arm may have a fundamental mode that radiates in a second communications band such as one or more cellular ultra-high bands. The second resonating element arm may have a harmonic mode that radiates in first and second ultra-wideband (UWB) communications bands. The antenna may include a tunable component that is adjustable between first and second states. The second arm may radiate in the first UWB communications band while the tunable component is in the first state and in the second UWB communications band while the tunable component is in the second state.

    Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with wireless circuitry. The wireless circuitry may include multiple antennas and transceiver circuitry. The antennas may include antenna structures at opposing first and second ends of the electronic device. The antenna structures at a given end of the device may include antenna structures that are shared between multiple antennas. The electronic device may include a first antenna with an inverted-F antenna resonating element formed from portions of a peripheral conductive housing structure and may have an antenna ground that is separated from the antenna resonating element by a gap. A return path may bridge the gap. The electronic device may also include a second antenna that includes the antenna ground and an additional antenna resonating element. The antenna resonating element of the second antenna may be parasitically coupled to the return path of the inverted-F antenna at given frequencies.

    Abstract: An electronic device may have wireless circuitry with antennas. An antenna resonating element arm for an antenna may be formed from peripheral conductive structures running along the edges of a device housing. The peripheral conductive structures may form housing sidewalls. A slot may be machined into a metal housing that separates the housing sidewalls from a planar rear housing portion that forms a ground for an antenna. The slot may be filled with plastic filler. A parasitic antenna resonating element arm that supports an antenna resonance at high band frequencies may be embedded within the plastic filler. The parasitic antenna resonating element may be formed from a portion of the planar rear housing portion.
