Abstract
A thermally adaptive antenna system having an antenna structure, an EM) power signal, a DC power signal, an impedance tuner, a temperature sensor in the antenna, a DC-DC conversion component, and a microcontroller. The microcontroller provides a tuning command to the impedance tuner, causing the impedance tuner to compensate for an impedance change in the antenna due to a temperature change in the antenna. An environmentally adaptive antenna system has an antenna structure, an EM power signal, a DC power signal, an EM power splitter, a directional coupler, a reference receiver, a measurement receiver, an impedance tuner, and a controller. The controller calculates antenna impedance change based on observed changes in return loss, calculates a corresponding correction to the antenna impedance, and sends a command to the impedance tuner to implement the correction to the antenna impedance.
