Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure propose a method and an apparatus for antenna tuning and transmit path selection in an RF system. A method may include antenna diversity path selection by (optionally) diagnosing damaged antennas, tuning antennas, and selecting an antenna with better performance. Embodiments can be used in wireless radio-frequency (RF) front-ends. Other aspects, embodiments, and features are also claimed and described.

Abstract: Techniques for controlling transmit power and adjusting an antenna tuning network of a wireless device are disclosed. In an exemplary design, an apparatus (e.g., a wireless device or a circuit module) includes a directional coupler and at least one detector. The directional coupler receives an input radio frequency (RF) signal at a first port, provides an output RF signal at a second port, and provides a coupled RF signal at a third port. The detector(s) receive at least one RF signal on at least one port of the directional coupler, measure the at least one RF signal, and provide measurements that are used to control the transmit power of the wireless device and adjust an antenna tuning network. For example, the measurements may be used to determine incident power, reflected power, delivered power, etc., which may be used to control the transmit power and/or adjust the antenna tuning network.
