1. A mobile communication device, comprising:
- a tunable reactance circuit configured to be coupled to at least one of a transmitter portion and a receiver portion of the mobile communication device; and
a controller coupled with the tunable reactance circuit, wherein the controller, responsive to executing instructions, performs operations comprising;
determining a tuning state from among a plurality of tuning states based on whether detected signal measurements are determined to be invalid and based on information from at least one of an open-loop or closed-loop feedback configuration of the tunable reactance circuit, wherein the open-loop feedback configuration is based on a mechanical use case of the mobile communication device; and
adjusting the tunable reactance circuit utilizing the tuning state.
