    Abstract: An electronic device antenna may be provided with an antenna ground. An antenna resonating element may have a first end that is coupled to the ground using an inductor and may have a second end that is coupled to a peripheral conductive housing member in an electronic device. The peripheral conductive housing member may have a portion that is connected to the ground and may have a portion that is separated from the ground by a gap. The gap may be bridged by an inductor that couples the second end of the antenna resonating element to the antenna ground. The inductor may be bridged by a switch. A tunable circuit such as a capacitor bridged by a switch may be interposed in the antenna resonating element. The switches that bridge the gap and the capacitor may be used in tuning the antenna.

    Abstract: An electronic device may have control circuitry that uses a reflectometer to measure antenna impedance during operation. The reflectometer may have a directional coupler that is coupled between radio-frequency transceiver circuitry and an antenna. A calibration circuit may be coupled between the directional coupler and the antenna. The calibration circuit may have a first port coupled to the antenna, a second port coupled to the directional coupler, and a third port that is coupled to a calibration resistance. The reflectometer may have terminations of identical impedance that are coupled to ground. Switching circuitry in the reflectometer may be used to route signals from the directional coupler to a feedback receiver for measurement by the control circuitry or to ground through the terminations. Calibrated antenna reflection coefficient measurements may be used in dynamically adjusting the antenna.
