1. A system comprising:
a processor;
an antenna; and
an antenna matching network including:
at least one aperture tuner configured to shift a frequency response of the antenna; and
at least one impedance tuner configured to dynamically change an amount of radiated power for the antenna,
wherein the antenna matching network is positioned at least a specified minimum distance from the antenna according to one or more operating characteristics of the antenna,
wherein the antenna is configured to provide a line-of-sight intralink connection to a first electronic device at an ultra-high frequency that operates above a minimum specified frequency and allows the processor to share computational load with the first electronic device;
wherein a second antenna of the system is positioned at a minimum offset angle relative to the antenna, allowing the second antenna to operate in conjunction with the antenna while avoiding interference with the line-of-sight intralink.
