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.
