Abstract
An electronic device may include one or more radios and one or more antennas. The electronic device may include an input-output interface for connecting to a radio or an antenna. To facilitate selective external connections to the radio and the antenna, the electronic device may include a switch having a first terminal coupled to the radio, a second terminal coupled to the antenna, and a third terminal coupled to the input-output interface. The switch may be controlled to connect any two terminals of the three terminals to provide the corresponding connection, thereby facilitating the desired external connection(s) in some scenarios while enabling wireless circuitry operation with the radio and the antenna in other scenarios.
