1. A method of controlling operation of a switched non-resonant antenna element in a mobile communication device, the switched non-resonant antenna element disposed in proximity to a main antenna and being switchably coupled to an electrical reference, the method comprising:

  • determining a configuration of the mobile communication device, wherein the mobile communication device is configurable in at least a first and a second physical configuration;

    when the mobile communication device is configured in the first physical configuration, leaving the non-resonant antenna element in a decoupled state from the electrical reference; and

    when the mobile communication device is configured in the second physical configuration, selectively coupling the non-resonant antenna element to the electrical reference through an impedance during a transmit slot time, and decoupling the non-resonant antenna element from the electrical reference during a receive time slot.
