1. A system, comprising:

  • a first discrete power amplifier having an input terminal coupled to receive a signal modulated using an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation scheme;

    a second discrete power amplifier having an input terminal coupled to an output terminal of the first discrete power amplifier;

    a primary antenna coupled to an output terminal of second discrete power amplifier;

    a first discrete low noise amplifier (LNA);

    a second discrete low noise amplifier (LNA) having an input terminal coupled to the primary antenna and an output terminal coupled to an input terminal of the first discrete low noise amplifier;

    a diversity antenna; and

    a third discrete low noise amplifier (LNA) having an input terminal coupled to the diversity antenna and an output terminal coupled to the input terminal of the first low noise amplifier.
