Abstract

A wireless communication device includes an antenna module, a transceiving module, a controlling module, and a switch module. The antenna module includes a first antenna and a second antenna. The transceiving module includes a first transceiver and a second transceiver. The controlling module receives a first control signal and a working status signal from the first transceiver, subsequently outputting a second control signal according to the first control signal and the working status signal. The switch module includes a first single-pole-double-throw (SPDT) switch connected to the first transceiver and a double-pole-double-throw (DPDT) switch. The DPDT switch is connected between the antenna module and the first SPDT switch as well as the second transceiver and configured for switching the connections of the first SPDT switch, the second transceiver, the first antenna, and the second antenna according to the second control signal.
