Method and system for broadband near-field communication (BNC) utilizing full spectrum capture (FSC) supporting concurrent charging and communication
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- performing by a near field communications tag that supports a passive mode and comprises a control unit, a modulator, and a demodulator;
communicating, by said near field communications tag, wireless signals at a power level that is below a spurious emissions mask, wherein;
said wireless signals are communicated over a designated frequency spectrum band via one or more antennas;
said wireless signals convey data between said near field communications tag and a first device via one or more usable channels within said frequency spectrum band;
during transmission, said one or more usable channels are generated digitally by the near field communications tag, andduring reception, said frequency spectrum band is digitized by the near field communications tag prior to frequency conversion;
concurrent with said communicating, making energy harvested from said wireless signals available via one or more conductors such that said energy may be used by a second device; and
pairing said near field communications tag with said second device.

Abstract
A charging device includes an integrated broadband transceiver that is operable to communicate wireless signals at a power level that is below a spurious emissions mask. The wireless signals are communicated over a designated frequency spectrum band via one or more antennas. The wireless signals convey data between the charging device and a communication device via one or more usable channels within the frequency spectrum band utilized by the integrated broadband transceiver. Concurrent with the communicating, charging of the communication device occurs. One or more usable channels within the frequency spectrum band utilized by the integrated broadband transceiver may be detected. The charging and the communication of the wireless signals occurs currently on the same ones or different ones of the one or more antennas. The detected one or more usable channels may be aggregated and utilized for the communication by the integrated broadband transceiver.
