Antenna interface circuits including tunable impedance matching networks, electronic devices incorporating the same, and methods of tuning antenna interface circuits

摘要

An antenna interface circuit for a wireless communication device includes a tunable matching circuit that is coupleable to an antenna. The tunable matching circuit includes a variable impedance element having a variable impedance Ztune. The interface circuit further includes a fixed impedance element having a fixed impedance Zmeas, and a switch coupled to the fixed impedance element and configured to controllably switch the fixed impedance element into electrical communication with the tunable matching circuit. Related devices and methods are also disclosed.
