Abstract
A method () and devices for enhancing the performance of one or more antennas () is provided. A control circuit () assesses performance of an antenna () in a plurality of bands, such as a receive band and a transmit band. The control circuit () then selects one of the bands, e.g., a lesser performing band, as a 'selected band' for which the antenna () will be optimized. The control circuit () can then adjust an adjustable impedance matching circuit () coupled to the antenna () to improve the efficiency of the antenna () in the selected band and can adjust a resonance of the antenna () to further improve an efficiency of the antenna () in the selected band.
