Patent ID: 8594584

Claim:
A tuning system for a communication device having an antenna, the tuning system comprising: at least one first tunable element connected with at least one radiating element of the antenna for tuning the antenna, wherein adjusting of the at least one first tunable element is based on a use case associated with the communication device; and a matching network having at least one second tunable element coupled to a feed point of the antenna, wherein the matching network receives control signals for adjusting the at least one second tunable element to tune the matching network, wherein the adjusting of the at least one second tunable element of the matching network comprises a closed loop process, wherein the at least one first tunable element is a plurality of first tunable elements, wherein the at least one radiating element comprises a first radiating element associated with a first frequency range and a second radiating element associated with a second frequency range, wherein at least one of the plurality of first tunable elements that is associated with the first radiating element is tuned based on a desired Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) associated with the antenna, and wherein at least another of the plurality of first tunable elements that is associated with the second radiating element is tuned based on a different performance metric.
