Abstract: A wireless communication device comprises a wide area transceiver, an auxiliary receiver, a plurality of antennas for use by said auxiliary receiver and said wide area transceiver, and an antenna selection circuit. The antenna selection circuit selects an antenna configuration for the auxiliary receiver and the wide area transceiver. The antenna selection circuit is configured to measure a link quality for one or more of antennas used by the auxiliary receiver, and select an antenna configuration for the wide area transceiver based on the link quality measurements for the auxiliary receiver.

Abstract: A method of operating an electronic device includes providing a plurality of antenna elements, determining that a change is to be made to at least one of the plurality of antenna elements, and scheduling the change to the at least one of the plurality of antenna elements during a time interval that a transmission power amplifier has a power level below a threshold. The change to the at least one of the plurality of antenna elements may also be made responsive to a reduction to the power level of the transmission power amplifier below the threshold.
