  • Publication number: 20210135694
    Abstract: An embodiment provides a method for matching an antenna to a network, including: identifying a communication network having a predetermined frequency accessible to connect a multi-band antenna of a device that radiates at a plurality of frequencies, wherein the plurality of frequencies includes the predetermined frequency; selecting one of a plurality of matching networks associated with the multi-band antenna based upon the predetermined frequency of the communication network, wherein each of the plurality of matching networks is associated with at least one of the plurality of frequencies; and connecting the multi-band antenna to the identified communication ne twork while employing the selected one of a plurality of matching networks. Other aspects are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 7915967
    Abstract: A frequency-tunable arrangement comprises a resonance circuit having a capacitive part that is tunable throughout a capacitance range. A plurality of amplifiers is coupled to the resonance circuit so as to form an oscillation loop. At least one of the amplifiers is a switchable amplifier that is switchable between an active state and an idle state. The switchable amplifier causes a capacitance variation in parallel to the capacitive part of the resonance circuit when switched between the active and the idle state. The switchable amplifier is arranged so that the capacitance variation substantially corresponds to the capacitance range throughout which the capacitive part can be tuned.

  • Publication number: 20080164957
    Abstract: A frequency-tunable arrangement comprises a resonance circuit (RS) having a capacitive part (C1, C2, Cv1, Cv2) that is tunable throughout a capacitance range. A plurality of amplifiers (AB, AS1, AS2, AS3) is coupled to the resonance circuit so as to form an oscillation loop. At least one of the amplifiers is a switchable amplifier (AS1) that is switchable between an active state and an idle state. The switchable amplifier causes a capacitance variation in parallel to the capacitive part of the resonance circuit when switched between the active and the idle state. The switchable amplifier is arranged so that the capacitance variation substantially corresponds to the capacitance range throughout which the capacitive part can be tuned.
