A communication card or communication device is provided that includes an antenna
for transmitting/receiving communication waves; a variable matching unit which
can vary a circuit parameter; a directional coupling unit for extracting a reflected
signal from the antenna; a detection unit for extracting the amplitude of the reflected
signal; a control unit for outputting a control signal; an amplifier for amplifying
a high frequency signal at a RF band; a frequency converter for converting an IF
band signal into a RF band signal or a RF band signal into an IF band signal; a
modulator/demodulator for modulating an IF signal to obtain a baseband signal at
the transmission and demodulating an IF signal to obtain a baseband signal at the
receiving; a baseband processor for processing the baseband signal; and a card
interface for exchanging data with an information device.
