Abstract

See full text

Apparatus and methods for matching the antenna of a radio device. In one embodiment, a capacitive sensor is arranged in the antenna structure and configured to detect the electric changes in the surroundings of the antenna. The mismatch caused by a change is rectified by means of the signal proportional to the sensor capacitance. This capacitance and the frequency range currently in use are input variables of a control unit. The antenna impedance is adjusted by means of a reactive matching circuit, the component values of which can be selected from a relatively wide array of alternatives by way of change-over switches, which are located in the transverse branches of the matching circuit.
