A circuit for tuning a resonance frequency of an electrically small antenna. The circuit includes a first source configured for providing a modulation signal, a second source configured for providing a periodic electrical signal, an antenna, and a tuning circuit configured for modulating a resonance frequency of the antenna in response to the modulation signal. The tuning circuit includes first and second capacitors that are alternately coupled to the antenna to change the resonance frequency of the antenna. The capacitor currently coupled to the antenna is decoupled from the antenna and the other capacitor is coupled to the antenna when the voltage across the capacitor currently coupled to the antenna is momentarily zero. In an exemplary embodiment, the tuning circuit comprises first and second inductors rather than capacitors. The inductors are switched into and out of the circuit when the current through the currently coupled inductor is momentarily zero.

Systems and methods for a diplexed antenna with semi-independent tilt are disclosed. The diplexed antenna supports two or more frequency bands, in which the vertical tilt of each of the supported frequency bands is separately controlled by a coarse level of phase shifting, but commonly controlled by a fine level of phase shifting.

Systems and methods which provide an antenna in a chip-and-package distributed configuration as disclosed. Chip-and-package distributed antenna configurations of embodiments comprise an on-chip integrated circuit component and an in-package component. For example, embodiments of a chip-and-package distributed antenna comprise an exciting element on chip (i.e., formed as an integrated component in an integrated circuit die) and a primary radiator in package (i.e., disposed within an package while being external to the integrated circuit die). The on-chip exciting element may be configured to excite electromagnetic waves and to provide relatively wide bandwidth operation while occupying a relatively small area of the die. The in-package primary radiator may be configured to leverage the relatively large space in the integrated circuit product package to enhance the gain and/or configure the radiation pattern of RF signals with respect to the exciting element.
