AI summary

The control method includes determining a target operating mode in response to a target instruction in a target scenario, controlling a target antenna in the target operating mode to receive a first radiated signal at a first frequency, and transmitting a second radiated signal at a second frequency. The first frequency and the second frequency belong to a same frequency band. The target operating mode includes a plurality of different antenna operating modes. Under at least two of the antenna operating modes of the plurality of different antenna operating modes, the second radiated signal at the second frequency is transmitted at different target powers to cause transmission powers of the plurality of different operating modes to be equal to or approach a power limit of the target scenario. The target power represents a power of a radio frequency path between an antenna port of the target antenna and a transceiver.
