    Abstract: An electronic device is provided. The electronic device includes a substrate, a radio frequency (RF) element, an electronic element, a coupler, a detector, a controller, and an impedance matching circuit. The RF element, the electronic element, the coupler, the detector, and the impedance matching circuits are arranged on the substrate. The coupler generates a first coupling output signal in response to a first input coupling signal and a second coupling output signal in response to a second input coupled signal. The detector generates a determination signal based on the first coupling output signal and the second coupling output signal. The controller is arranged outside the substrate and generates a control signal according to the determination signal. The impedance matching circuit provides an impedance for a transmission path between the RF element and the electronic element in response to the control signal.
