Antenna tuning circuitry includes an antenna tuning node, an antenna tuning switch, and a resonant tuning circuit. The antenna tuning node is coupled to a resonant conduction element of an antenna. The antenna tuning switch and the resonant tuning circuit are coupled in series between the antenna tuning switch and the antenna tuning node, such that the resonant tuning circuit is between the antenna tuning node and the antenna tuning switch. The resonant tuning circuit is configured to resonate at one or more harmonic frequencies generated by the antenna tuning switch such that a high impedance path is formed between the antenna tuning switch and the antenna tuning node at harmonic frequencies generated by the antenna tuning switch. Accordingly, harmonic interference generated by the antenna tuning switch is prevented from reaching the antenna, while simultaneously allowing for tuning of the antenna.
