Abstract
A communication device includes a transmitter (TX), a receiver (RX), one or more adaptively-tunable Electrically-Small Antennas (ESAs), and a control unit. The transmitter is configured to produce a TX signal for transmission on a TX frequency band. The receiver is configured to process an RX signal received on an RX frequency band. The adaptively-tunable ESAs are configured to transmit the TX signal on the TX frequency band and to receive the RX signal on the RX frequency band. The control unit is configured to adaptively tune respective responses of the one or more ESAs in the TX or RX frequency band.
