Abstract
An electronic device including a tunable antenna, a radio frequency (RF) signal transceiving module, a coupler and a control unit, is provided. The RF signal transceiving module is coupled to the tunable antenna, transmits at least one RF signal through the tunable antenna. The coupler is coupled between the tunable antenna and the RF signal transceiving module, and couples the at least one RF signal to derive a coupling signal. The control unit receives the coupling signal and generates at least one control signal according to a signal strength of the RF signal in a specific frequency band, and outputs the at least one control signal to the tunable antenna so as to adjust a working frequency band of the tunable antenna.
