Abstract
Examples are disclosed that relate to controlling an electronic device including a multi-mode antenna system. In a first operating mode, a radio signal is transmitted via a first antenna, a second antenna is actively de-tuned the while receiving a reflected radio signal thereby increasing isolation between the first and second antennas, an object is detected based at least on the reflected radio signal and the multi-mode antenna system is switched to operation in a second operating mode. In the second operating mode, a first remote radio signal transmitted by a remote antenna of a remote electronic device is received, via the first antenna, a second remote radio signal transmitted by the remote antenna is received via the second antenna, and a position of the remote electronic device is determined based at least on a phase difference between the first remote radio signal and the second remote radio signal.
