1. A radio frequency (RF) communications module, comprising:
- a) a support having a predetermined form factor;
b) a first RF transceiver supported by the support, and operative for transmitting data according to a first communications standard;
c) a second RF transceiver supported by the support, and operative for transmitting the data according to a second communications standard different from the first standard; and
d) a common baseband processor coupled to the first and second RF transceivers for processing a baseband signal in each RF transceiver.

Abstract
An auto ID reader and one or two radio frequency transceivers are supported on a common support having a predetermined form factor, such as that of a scan engine module commonly utilized in hand-held bar code symbol scanners. Common digital processing circuitry is used for processing the signal from the auto ID sensor and an RF transceiver baseband signal, making a highly integrated and compact arrangement. A single Fast Fourier Transform circuit is utilized for each transceiver.
