17 Claims

1. An electronic device comprising:

at least one tunable antenna;

at least one processor configured to be operatively connected to the at least one tunable antenna; and

a memory configured to be operatively connected to the at least one processor,

wherein the memory stores instructions which, when executed, cause the at least one processor to:

measure a load of the at least one tunable antenna based on a reference point among a plurality of reference points for tuning, and tune the at least one tunable antenna, based on the measured load,

wherein the instructions, which when executed, cause the at least one processor to measure the load of the at least one tunable antenna, comprise instructions which, when executed, cause the processor to:

obtain an event;

obtain one reference point among the plurality of reference points for tuning based on the obtained event;

configure the at least one tunable antenna based on the obtained reference point;

measure the load of the at least one tunable antenna after configuring the at least one tunable antenna;

select an antenna tuning code based on the measured load; and

reconfigure the at least one tunable antenna based on the selected antenna tuning code.
