Abstract
A method is provided for controlling the matching of an antenna to a transmission path. The transmission path includes an amplifier stage coupled at an input or at an output to the antenna and to a resistive load. The method includes performing a checking phase by measuring a first current temperature at or in proximity of the antenna and a second current temperature at or in proximity of the resistive load, triggering a matching of the impedance seen at the input or at the output of the amplifier stage in the presence of a first condition involving the first and second current temperatures, and then stopping the matching of the impedance in the presence of a second condition involving the second current temperature.
