Abstract: An electronic device may transmit and receive wireless signals using wireless circuitry that is controlled by control circuitry. The wireless circuitry may include adjustable components such as adjustable antenna structures, adjustable front end circuitry, and adjustable transceiver circuitry. During characterization operations, the electronic device may be tested to identify operating settings for the wireless circuitry that lead to potential wireless interference between aggressor transmitters and victim receivers. The control circuitry can adjust the wireless circuitry to mitigate the effects of interference based on settings identified during characterization operations or real time signal quality measurements.

Abstract: Electronic devices may have multiple antennas. A first antenna may be located at one end of a device and a second antenna may be located at another end of the device. An input-output port in a device may have a connector that receives a mating connector associated with external equipment. The input-output port and the second antenna may be located at one of the ends of the electronic device. When equipment such as an external video accessory is in use, input-output circuitry in an electronic device may transmit high speed data signals through the input-output port. The presence of activity on the input-output port such as video data or other data transmissions may be monitored by control circuitry in the electronic device. When input-output port activity is detected, use of the second antenna in receiving radio- frequency signals can be inhibited.
