Abstract:
A system that incorporates teachings of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a system including an RF switch connected with an antenna system that includes a first antenna and a second antenna. The system can include, where the RF switch has a first position in which the first antenna operates as the primary antenna and the second antenna operates as the diversity antenna, and wherein the RF switch has a second position in which the second antenna operates as the primary antenna and the first antenna operates as the diversity antenna. The system can include a controller coupled with the matching network and with the RF switch, where the controller receives first measurements associated with the antenna system, and where the controller adjusts the RF switch to select between the first and second positions according to the first measurements.
