Abstract

A communication device includes an antenna unit, an adjustment unit and a sensing and processing unit. The sensing and processing unit is electrically coupled to the antenna unit and the adjustment unit. The antenna unit is configured to transmit a radio frequency (RF) signal. The adjustment unit is configured to adjust a frequency and a bandwidth of the RF signal. The sensing and processing unit is configured to sense a capacitance, so as to control the adjustment unit to adjust the frequency of the RF signal according to the capacitance, and to control the adjustment unit to adjust the bandwidth of the RF signal according to a system signal.

Claims (14)

1. A communication device, comprising:

an antenna unit configured to transmit a radio frequency signal;

an adjustment unit configured to adjust a frequency and a bandwidth of the radio frequency signal; and

a sensing and processing unit disposed between the antenna unit and the adjustment unit to make the adjustment unit couple to the antenna unit through the sensing and processing unit, wherein the sensing and processing unit is configured to sense a capacitance through the antenna unit, to control the adjustment unit to adjust the frequency of the radio frequency signal according to the capacitance, and to control the adjustment unit to adjust the bandwidth of the radio frequency signal according to a system signal,

wherein the adjustment unit comprises at least one switch electrically coupled to at least one capacitor, and

wherein the sensing and processing unit is configured to control one of the at least one switch according to the capacitance to make the sensing and processing unit be electrically coupled to one of the at least one capacitor to adjust the frequency and the bandwidth of the radio frequency signal.

2. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the adjustment unit comprises a variable capacitor, and the sensing and processing unit is configured to adjust a capacitance of the variable capacitor to adjust the frequency and the bandwidth of the radio frequency signal.

3. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the sensing and processing unit controls the adjustment unit to adjust the radio frequency signal to generate a frequency shift according to the capacitance.

4. The communication device of claim 3 , wherein the sensing and processing unit controls the adjustment unit to increase the frequency of the radio frequency signal according to the capacitance.

5. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the sensing and processing unit controls the adjustment unit to increase the bandwidth of the radio frequency signal according to the system signal.

6. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the sensing and processing unit controls the adjustment unit by using an open loop method.

7. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the sensing and processing unit comprises a capacitive sensor.

8. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the system signal indicates that a system connected to the communication device operates in a high frequency band, a low frequency band or a particular frequency band.

9. The communication device of claim 1 , wherein the sensing and processing unit is configured to detect whether a human body approaches the communication device.
