Electronic device antennas having multiple operating modes
An electronic device may be provided with wireless circuitry and control circuitry. The wireless circuitry may include an antenna with an inverted-F antenna resonating element formed from portions of a peripheral conductive electronic device housing structure and may have an antenna ground that is separated from the antenna resonating element by a gap. The antenna may include a first adjustable component coupled between the antenna resonating element arm and the antenna ground on a first side of the antenna feed and a second adjustable component coupled between the antenna resonating element arm and the antenna ground on a second side of the antenna feed. Control circuitry in the electronic device may adjust the first and second adjustable components between a first tuning mode, a second tuning mode, and a third tuning mode.

Radio to tune multiple stations simultaneously and select programming segments
Techniques describe tuning a plurality of radio stations, buffering digital audio data from each tuner, recognizing programming segments in the buffer, identifying content (e.g., song title and artist) of at least some segments, selecting from among the identified segments, and providing the selected segments to a listener. In an example, at least two signals are simultaneously tuned from at least two radio stations. Digital audio data and metadata obtained from the tuning may be buffered. The buffered data may be segmented into programming segments. Information may be obtained about the programming segments. For example, a song title and artist may be obtained for a programming segment comprising a song. In another example, a second programming segment may be identified as a commercial or may remain unidentified. The obtained information identifying programming segments may be analyzed to identify listener-preferred programming segments. Preferred programming segments may then be provided to the listener.
Audio system for providing alternative frequency, vehicle having the same, and method for providing alternative frequency
An audio system includes an audio device and a control device. The control device receives a second broadcast signal for an alternative frequency associated with the first broadcast signal with receive sensitivity of specified first reference sensitivity or more than the predetermined first reference sensitivity and verifies and stores a second radio frequency for transmitting the same broadcast as a radio broadcast of the first radio frequency, receives a third broadcast signal for the alternative frequency, when the first broadcast signal with receive sensitivity less than the specified first reference sensitivity, but greater than or equal to specified reference sensitivity is received, and change the frequency of the audio device from the first radio frequency to a third radio frequency, and changes the frequency of the audio device based on the second radio frequency, when the first broadcast signal with receive sensitivity less than the specified second reference sensitivity is received.
