Abstract:
An apparatus including a housing; sensors configured to sense one or more locations upon which a user is gripping the housing; sensors including antenna modules configured to transmit a signal based on the one or more locations upon which the user is gripping the housing. Another aspect relates to an apparatus including a housing; a set of antenna modules situated proximate at different surface locations along the housing; and a controller configured to operate the set of antenna modules to determine at least one or more electromagnetic leakage coupling between at least one pair of antenna modules of the set. In this aspect, the controller may be configured to select one or more of the set of antenna modules for transmitting a signal based on the one or more electromagnetic leakage coupling associated with one or more of the different locations where a user grips the housing, respectively.
