1. An electronic device comprising:
peripheral conductive housing structures;
a display mounted to the peripheral conductive housing structures;
a housing wall mounted to the peripheral conductive housing structures opposite the display;
a dielectric substrate;
a phased antenna array on the dielectric substrate and configured to radiate at a frequency greater than 10 GHz through the housing wall;
a first ultra-wideband antenna on the dielectric substrate and configured to radiate in a first ultra-wideband frequency band through the housing wall;
a second ultra-wideband antenna on the dielectric substrate and configured to radiate through the housing wall in a second ultra-wideband frequency band that is different from the first ultra-wideband frequency band, wherein the phased antenna array is laterally interposed between the first and second ultra-wideband antennas; and
a third ultra-wideband antenna on the dielectric substrate, wherein the third ultra-wideband antenna is configured to radiate through the housing wall in the first ultra-wideband frequency band.
