Abstract
A centralized wireless communication system for a host device having a host processor and one or more host wireless communication modules includes a controller, one or more antenna elements, and an RF multiplexer coupled to the one or more antenna elements. The RF multiplexer includes one or more ports and is configured to establish an RF communication path between one or more ports and one or more antenna elements based on instructions from the controller. The centralized wireless communication system can provide adaptive noise cancellation and/or operate antenna elements as part of an active phased array.
