Abstract: A system and method for tuning are provided. One system includes at least one antenna, at least one matching network configured to retune the at least one antenna when a peripheral device is coupled to the system and a processor configured to identify the peripheral device when coupled with the system. The system also includes a controller configured to control switching of the at least one matching network based on when the peripheral device is coupled with the system.

Abstract: Technology for standardizing an antenna design for a computing device includes an antenna element in the shape of an object that is commonly useful with multiple, different computing products. For example, in one embodiment the antenna element is a bracket for holding a stylus or other object within a stylus chamber that is associated with the computing device. The dimension and composition of the antenna remain relatively constant to provide a consistent radiation pattern requiring little or no redesign when implemented across the different products, since it may be placed at an edge of a device, by a stylus holder, or similar, common location that is a distance from a ground plane and device circuitry.
