Abstract
A self-calibrating antenna system having a radio frequency (RF) detector configured to estimate a time delay of a transmission signal on a transmission line, which couples an RF front end with an antenna tuner, based on a magnitude and phase of an input impedance of the transmission line at a first set of a plurality of respective frequencies, and a transceiver configured to transmit to the antenna tuner a calibrated tuning control command based on the estimated time delay to calibrate the antenna tuner and the transmission line.
