DUAL-BAND COMMUNICATION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR USE THEREWITH
First Claim
1. A communication device, comprising:
- a first transceiver configured to communicate in a first frequency band with a remote device, wherein the remote device is oriented at a direction relative to the communication device, wherein the first transceiver communicates with the remote device in accordance with first antenna beam steering parameters, and wherein the first transceiver generates a first antenna beam corresponding to the direction; and
a second transceiver configured to communicate in a second frequency band with the remote device, wherein the second frequency band is outside the first frequency band, wherein the second transceiver is pre-initialized with second antenna beam steering parameters to generate a second antenna beam corresponding to the direction, and wherein the second antenna beam steering parameters of the second transceiver are generated based on the first antenna beam steering parameters of the first transceiver.
