Abstract:
A communication device, method and computer program product provide improved performance of one radio frequency (RF) conduction path using an antenna tuner of another RF conduction path while dynamically reducing current drain by the antenna tuner. A determination is made that a first RF conduction path is active in using a first portion of a multiple band antenna system for at least one of: (i) transmitting; and (ii) receiving a signal. An antenna tuner of a second RF conduction path that uses a second portion of the multiple band antenna system is activated. The antenna tuner is configured to tune the second portion of the multiple band antenna system to isolate the second portion from the first portion used by the first RF conduction path. The antenna tuner is deactivated in response to determining that both the first and second RF conduction paths are inactive.

Claim (Index 8):
A communication device comprising:\n a multiple band antenna system; a first radio frequency (RF) conduction path coupled to a first portion of the multiple band antenna system and whose performance is indirectly enhanced by an antenna tuner that actively tunes a second RF conduction path that is active; a first transceiver coupled to the first RF conduction path to at least one of: (i) transmit; and (ii) receive a signal via the first portion of the multiple band antenna system; the second RF conduction path coupled to a second portion of the multiple band antenna system; a second transceiver coupled to the second RF conduction path to at least one of: (i) transmit; and (ii) receive a signal via the second portion of the multiple band antenna system; the antenna tuner coupled to the second RF conduction path to tune the second portion of the multiple band antenna system; a modem coupled to the antenna tuner to configure tuning of the second portion of the multiple band antenna system; a processor subsystem in communication with the modem and which executes an antenna tuning control utility, which causes the processor subsystem to:\n determine that the first RF conduction path is active in using the first portion of the multiple band antenna system for at least one of: (i) transmitting; and (ii) receiving the signal; and \n in response to determining that a second RF conduction path is inactive and is thus not using a second portion of the multiple band antenna system:\n activate the modem and the antenna tuner of the second RF conduction path that uses the second portion of the multiple band antenna system; and \n configure the antenna tuner, via the modem, to tune the second portion of the multiple band antenna system to isolate the second portion from the first portion used by the first RF conduction path and to achieve dynamic reduction of current drain by the antenna tuner.
