Abstract
An electronic device may be provided with wireless circuitry and a housing having peripheral conductive housing structures. The wireless circuitry may include first and second antennas. The first antenna may have a resonating element arm formed from a first segment of the peripheral conductive housing structures. The second antenna may have a resonating element arm formed from a second segment of the peripheral conductive housing structures separated from the first segment by a gap. Switchable short paths may be coupled between the second segment and ground on opposing sides of an antenna feed for the second antenna and/or may be coupled between the first and second segments and ground on opposing sides of the gap. Additionally or alternatively, a switch may be coupled between the first and second segments across the gap and a tuning component may couple the second segment to the ground structures.
