1. An electronic device, comprising:

  • a housing having a metal housing wall that forms a ground plane;

    a slot in the metal housing wall that forms a slot antenna resonating element for a hybrid antenna;

    a planar inverted-F antenna resonating element for the hybrid antenna that indirectly feeds antenna signals for the slot antenna resonating element via near-field electromagnetic coupling; and

    first and second tunable components that are configured to tune the hybrid antenna, wherein the planar inverted-F antenna resonating element overlaps the slot across an area, the first and second tunable components extend across the slot at first and second respective locations, and the area is interposed between the first and second locations.
