Antenna Tuning For Wireless Links - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17908130 titled 'Antenna Tuning For Wireless Links

Simplified Explanation

The patent application is for a dynamic antenna tuning system that improves wireless connections between a host device (e.g., a smartwatch) and other devices (e.g., wireless earbuds or a smartphone).

  • The system uses an impedance tuner and an aperture tuner to adjust the antenna based on its impedance and radiation pattern.
  • The antenna tuning system can prioritize certain wireless links over others for devices connected to the host device.
  • Real-time adjustments are made to the tuning parameters in response to changes in connection strength caused by user movement.
  • The system is designed to enhance wireless links and improve overall performance between the host device and other devices.


Original Abstract Submitted

The disclosure is directed to a dynamic antenna tuning system for improving wireless links between a host device implementing the system, and one or more other devices. For example, the host device can be a smartwatch or other wearable device, and the other devices can be a pair of wireless earbuds or a smartphone. The antenna tuning system can use both an impedance tuner and an aperture tuner to dynamically tune an antenna based on both the impedance of an antenna at its feed and its radiation pattern. The system can tune the antenna and prioritize multiple wireless links for some devices connected to the host device, over others. The system adjusts tuning parameters in real-time and in response to changes in the connection strength of wireless links between the host device and one or more other devices, for example caused by movement of a user.
