摘要

The present application describes a system and method for validating a detachable antenna which may include, coupling a detachable antenna to a wireless device, providing an antenna identification code of the detachable antenna to the wireless device, determining if the antenna identification code of the detachable antenna is a valid antenna identification code for the wireless device and enabling operation of the wireless device if the antenna identification code of the detachable antenna is a valid antenna identification code for the wireless device. The operation of the wireless device may additionally be disabled if it is subsequently determined that the detachable antenna connected to the wireless device is no longer a valid antenna or if it is determined that the detachable antenna has been previously used by another wireless device.
