A communication method performed in an electronic device including a conductive pattern and the electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a conductive pattern used as a radiator for wireless communication, a feeding unit connected with the conductive pattern, a ground unit connected with the conductive pattern, a first impedance matching circuit disposed in a first area adjacent to the feeding unit and connected to the conductive pattern, a second impedance matching circuit disposed in a second area adjacent to the conductive pattern and connected to the conductive pattern, and a control unit that matches impedance by controlling at least one of the first impedance matching circuit and the second impedance matching circuit by a closed-loop scheme.

An electronic device may include wireless circuitry with a radio that conveys wireless data with a wireless base station using antennas according to a communication schedule and that performs sensing using the antennas. The sensing may involve transmission of sensing signals and reception of reflected signals during sensing periods. Control circuitry may adjust timing of the sensing periods, based on network configuration information and the current sensing requirements of the device, to align with scheduled inactive times for the radio. In this way, the radio may perform radio-frequency sensing for use in adjusting wireless transmissions to satisfy radio-frequency exposure requirements without substantially disrupting wireless data communications.

Disclosed are techniques for wireless sensing. In an aspect, a user equipment (UE) detects an object and a direction to the object in an environment of the UE, determines whether the object is a human, identifies, based on the object being the human, a sensitive body part of the human, and performs, based on identification of the sensitive body part, a maximum power exposure (MPE) mitigation operation.

The disclosure relates to a method of detecting whether an external object is in proximity to an electronic device and an electronic device supporting the same. An electronic device according to an embodiment may include: a wireless communication circuit; an antenna electrically connected to the wireless communication circuit and configured to be fed with power from the wireless communication circuit at a first point; a voltage detector including circuitry configured to detect a peak voltage applied to the antenna; and a processor electrically connected to the voltage detector and the wireless communication circuit. The processor may be configured to: determine whether an external object is within a specified proximity to the electronic device based on the peak voltage detected by the voltage detector; and control the magnitude of power applied to the antenna via the wireless communication circuit based on a determination that the external object is within the specified proximity to the electronic device.

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide object detection based on perturbations in a channel model over time. An example portable apparatus includes a primary antenna, a secondary antenna, a transmit path, a radio frequency (RF) coupler, and a receive path. The transmit path is coupled to the primary antenna and configured to output a transmit signal for transmission via the primary antenna. The RF coupler is coupled to the secondary antenna. The receive path has an input selectively coupled between the transmit path and the RF coupler such that when the receive path is coupled to the RF coupler and configured to operate concurrently with the transmit path, the receive path is configured to receive a reflected portion of the transmit signal from an object located in proximity to the portable apparatus.

The methods and devices may be configured to detect whether a body is proximately located based on obtained proximity sensor data; define an upper threshold for a radio frequency (RF) transmit power and a lower threshold for the RF transmit power; calculate an average power of an RF transmitter over a fixed time period; and based on whether the body is detected, the average power, and a comparison of the average power to the upper threshold or the lower threshold, determine whether to apply or remove a power back-off to the RF transmitter.

Various aspects may enable an RF exposure condition for the wireless device to be detected while the wireless device is operating in a mmW mode during a voice. In some aspects, a mmW carrier quality report may be adjusted to deprioritize mmW in response to determining the RF exposure condition for the wireless device is occurring during the voice call.
