1. An electronic device comprising:
- circuitry configured todetermine an antenna operation mode for one or more antenna arrays;
control the one or more antenna arrays to operate in a combined antenna mode via a Wilkinson combiner by aligning the Wilkinson combiner to the one or more antenna arrays via a set of core switching devices; and
control the one or more antenna arrays to operate in an isolated antenna mode via a single-pole, multi-throw switch.

Abstract
An electronic device includes circuitry configured to determine an antenna operation mode for one or more antenna arrays. The circuitry is further configured to control the one or more antenna arrays to operate in a combined antenna mode via a Wilkinson combiner. The circuitry is also configured to control the one or more antenna arrays to operate in an isolated antenna mode via a single-pole, multi-throw switch.
