Abstract

A system and method for use in wireless communication includes connecting a communication circuit to an antenna network. The network includes multiple antennas, each antenna optimized for operation in one of multiple designated frequency bands.

Claims

1. A system for use in wireless communication, the system comprising:

a communication circuit; and

an antenna network connected to the communication circuit, the network comprising a plurality of antennas, each antenna optimized for operation in one of a plurality of designated frequency bands.

2. The system of claim 1 wherein the communication circuit comprises a transceiver.

3. The system of claim 1 wherein the communication circuit comprises a transmitter.

4. The system of claim 1 wherein the communication circuit comprises a receiver.

5. The system of claim 2 wherein the transceiver is for use in an automotive application.

6. The system of claim 3 wherein the transmitter is for use in an automotive application.

7. The system of claim 4 wherein the receiver is for use in an automotive application.

8. The system of claim 1 wherein the plurality of antennas are connected in parallel.

9. The system of claim 1 wherein the plurality of antennas are connected in series.

10. The system of claim 1 wherein at least one of the plurality of designated frequency bands comprises a single frequency.

11. The system of claim 1 wherein each of the plurality of designated frequency bands comprises a single frequency.

12. A method for use in wireless communications, the method comprising:

connecting a communication circuit to an antenna network, the network comprising a plurality of antennas, each antenna optimized for operation in one of a plurality of designated frequency bands.

13. The method of claim 12 wherein the communication circuit comprises a transmitter.

14. The method of claim 12 wherein the communication circuit comprises a receiver.

15. The method of claim 12 wherein the communication circuit comprises a transceiver.

16. The method of claim 12 wherein at least one of the plurality of designated frequency bands comprises a single frequency.

17. The method of claim 12 wherein each of the plurality of designated frequency bands comprises a single frequency.

18. The method of claim 12 wherein the plurality of antennas are connected in parallel.

19. The method of claim 12 wherein the plurality of antennas are connected in series.

20. The method of claim 12 wherein the communication circuit is for use in an automotive application.
