Abstract
A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a matching network including a tunable reactance circuit configured to be coupled to at least one of a transmitter portion and a receiver portion of a communication device, wherein the tunable reactance circuit is adjustable to a plurality of tuning states, and wherein the determination of a tuning state is based on parameters associated with a detected interference. Additional embodiments are disclosed.
Claims20
A matching network, comprising:
- a tunable reactance circuit configured to be coupled to at least one of a transmitter portion and a receiver portion of a communication device, wherein the tunable reactance circuit is adjustable to a plurality of tuning states, and wherein the determination of a tuning state is based on parameters associated with a detected interference.
A matching network, comprising:
- a tunable reactance circuit configured to be coupled to at least one of a transmitter portion and a receiver portion of a communication device, wherein the tunable reactance circuit is adjustable to a plurality of tuning states, and wherein the determination of a tuning state is based on detecting interference with the communication device.
An apparatus for a communication device, the apparatus comprising a controller to determine a tuning state of a variable matching network that controls one or more operational characteristics of one of a receiver portion and a transmitter portion of the communication device, wherein the controller is operable to:
- detect an existence of an interferer;
- and
- determine the tuning state based on whether the interferer exists and based on information from at least one of an open-loop or closed-loop feedback configuration.
A method comprising:
- detecting interference with a communication device;
- determining a tuning state of a variable matching network of the communication device based on parameters associated with the interference;
- and
- adjusting the variable matching network based on the determined tuning state.
A method comprising:
- detecting interference with a communication device, wherein the interference is sourced by another communication device;
- and
- determining a tuning state of a variable matching network of the communication device based on the detected interference.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, comprising computer instructions to:
- determine interference with a communication device;
- and
- adjust a tuning state of a variable matching network of the communication device based on parameters associated with the interference.
