Programmable wireless communication device

摘要

A wireless communication device includes a processing module, a receiver section, a transmitter section, and an antenna system. The processing module is operable to generate tuning information and configuration information of a given wireless communication protocol. The receiver section is configurable in accordance with the configuration information to convert an inbound radio frequency (RF) signal into an inbound symbol stream in accordance with the tuning information. The transmitter section is configurable in accordance with the configuration information to convert an outbound symbol stream into an outbound RF signal in accordance with the turning information. The antenna system is operable to provide an antenna structure in accordance with the configuration information to transceive the inbound and outbound RF signals.
