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.
