Abstract
A wireless communication device is described. The wireless communication device includes a processor, a memory in communication with the processor and instructions stored in the memory. The instructions are executable by the processor to detect a signal degradation indication for a radio frequency (RF) signal. The instructions are also executable by the processor to cause a switch to select a combination of a first matching network and a second matching network coupled to an antenna in response to detecting the signal degradation indication.
Claims30
A wireless communication device, comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory in communication with the processor;
- and
- instructions stored in the memory, the instructions executable by the processor to:
- detect a signal degradation indication for a radio frequency (RF) signal;
- and
- cause a switch to select a combination of a first matching network and a second matching network coupled to an antenna in response to detecting the signal degradation indication, wherein a first terminal of the switch is coupled to the first matching network and to the second matching network at a node between the first matching network and the second matching network, the second matching network is coupled to a second terminal of the switch, and the antenna is coupled to a third terminal of the switch.
A method for wireless communication, comprising:
- detecting a signal degradation indication for a radio frequency (RF) signal;
- and
- causing a switch to select a combination of a first matching network and a second matching network coupled to an antenna in response to detecting the signal degradation indication, wherein a first terminal of the switch is coupled to the first matching network and to the second matching network at a node between the first matching network and the second matching network, the second matching network is coupled to a second terminal of the switch, and the antenna is coupled to a third terminal of the switch.
An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:
- means for detecting a signal degradation indication for a radio frequency (RF) signal;
- and
- means for causing a switch to select a combination of a first matching network and a second matching network coupled to an antenna in response to detecting the signal degradation indication, wherein a first terminal of the switch is coupled to the first matching network and to the second matching network at a node between the first matching network and the second matching network, the second matching network is coupled to a second terminal of the switch, and the antenna is coupled to a third terminal of the switch.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing computer executable code for wireless communication, comprising:
- code for causing a wireless communication device to detect a signal degradation indication for a radio frequency (RF) signal;
- and
- code for causing the wireless communication device to cause a switch to select a combination of a first matching network and a second matching network coupled to an antenna in response to detecting the signal degradation indication, wherein a first terminal of the switch is coupled to the first matching network and to the second matching network at a node between the first matching network and the second matching network, the second matching network is coupled to a second terminal of the switch, and the antenna is coupled to a third terminal of the switch.
