Abstract
Antenna switching can improve wireless connectivity of a computing device by selectively enabling one or more antenna modules. The antenna modules can be positioned along edges of the computing device to reduce the likelihood that multiple antenna modules are obstructed at once. Each antenna module can include an ultra-wideband (UWB) sensor and communication antenna (e.g., a Wi-Fi antenna) for wireless connectivity. A radio frequency (RF) controller of the computing device causes the UWB sensors to perform a UWB handshake with a wireless access point for position detection. Each UWB sensor is further configured to detect an obstruction proximal to the corresponding antenna module based on time-of-flight (ToF) and angle-of-arrival (AoA) measurements. In some cases, the RF controller can also perform gesture detection by the UWB sensors.
