PLUG-AND-PLAY TIME-VARIANT ANTENNA MODULE FOR WIRELESS COMMUNICATION DEVICES

摘要

A plug-and-play antenna may be used with many different types of wireless communication devices. An antenna may be coupled to an impedance tuning component and a waveform generator. A calibration control module receives radio status information, controls the waveform generator to vary a response of the antenna, and tunes the impedance tuning component to match impedances between a radio and the antenna.

1. An antenna module configured to communicate a radio frequency (RF) signal with a transceiver, the antenna module comprising:
an antenna; an impedance tuning component coupled to the antenna, the impedance tuning component to match an impedance of the antenna to the transceiver at a plurality of operating frequencies; a waveform generator coupled to the antenna, the waveform generator to generate a control waveform; and a calibration control module coupled with the transceiver and the waveform generator, the calibration control module to control the waveform generator to selectively provide the control waveform to vary a response of the antenna, and to selectively tune the impedance tuning component.
