Abstract
An apparatus and method of for attaching an antenna to a mobile communication device. The apparatus can include radio frequency generation circuitry, a radio frequency feed point coupled to the radio frequency generation circuitry, a direct current voltage source coupled to the radio frequency feed point, and an antenna detection module coupled to the radio frequency feed point and the direct current voltage source. The antenna detection module is configured to detect a type of antenna coupled to the radio frequency feed point based on a detected direct current voltage. The antenna detection module can be coupled to the radio frequency feed point and a ground contact point. The apparatus can additionally include a parameter of operation adjustment module coupled to the antenna detection module. The adjustment circuitry can be configured to adjust a parameter of operation of the mobile communication device.
