WIRELESS ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH SWITCHABLE ANTENNA SYSTEM

摘要

Various disclosed embodiments include methods and systems for operating a wireless electronic device having one or more antennas. The method comprises monitoring at least one parameter of a signal received from a remote transmitter. The method includes determining that the at least one parameter meets a first threshold and performing, at the wireless electronic device, a probing operation. The probing operation includes performing an antenna switching operation. The probing operation includes generating first signal information of the received signal prior to the antenna switching operation and generating second signal information of the received signal subsequent to the antenna switching operation. The probing operation includes determining whether the antenna switching operation achieves a desired gain based at least in part on the generated first and second signal information. The probing operation includes reversing the antenna switching operation in response to the desired gain not being achieved.

1. A method of operating a wireless electronic device having one or more antennas, the method comprising:
monitoring at least one parameter of a signal received from a remote transmitter; determining that the at least one monitored parameter meets a first threshold and performing, at the wireless electronic device, a probing operation, wherein the probing operation comprises:
performing an antenna switching operation that switches from a first antenna scheme to a second antenna scheme, wherein the first antenna scheme is different from the second antenna scheme,generating first signal information of the received signal prior to the antenna switching operation,generating second signal information of the received signal subsequent to the antenna switching operation,determining whether the antenna switching operation achieves a desired gain based at least in part on the generated first and second signal information,in response to the desired gain being achieved, operating in accordance with the second antenna scheme, andin response to the desired gain not being achieved, reversing the antenna switching operation and operating in accordance with the first antenna scheme.
