Abstract
A wireless handset with a built-in tunable antenna has a circuit that tunes the center frequency of impedance matching of the antenna to a call frequency. The wireless handset is used in a communication system that switches between a plurality of call channels. For each call, by adaptively changing the center frequency of impedance matching of the antenna to the frequency used for the call, the frequency band that the antenna should have can be decreased. A first control signal containing call frequency information or data used in a central processing unit to generate the first control signal is used to generate a second control signal in a control signal generator, whereby the center frequency of impedance matching of the tunable antenna can be tuned to a call frequency without having to provide an additional circuit for specifying the call frequency information.
