Title

Optimization Algorithm for Antenna Impedance Matching in Digitally Tunable Network

Supervisor

Safieddin Safavi-Naeini

Abstract

In this work, we explore different methods to tune antenna impedance in mobile devices. Mismatch from antenna impedance can cause undesirable effects such as spurious emissions, channel leakages, increased noise floor, degraded receiver sensitivity and so on.
