1. A multiple mode radio frequency (RF) transmitter comprises:
- a baseband section coupled to;
convert first outbound data into a first outbound symbol stream in accordance with a first communication protocol when the first communication protocol is enabled; and
convert second outbound data into a second outbound symbol stream in accordance with a second communication protocol when the second communication protocol is enabled;
a transmitter section coupled to;
convert the first outbound symbol stream into first outbound RF beamforming signals in accordance with a first beamforming setting selected based on at least the first communication protocol; and
convert the second outbound symbol stream into second outbound RF beamforming signals in accordance with a second beamforming setting selected based on at least the second communication protocol; and
a configurable antenna circuit coupled to;
provide a first antenna assembly for transmitting the first outbound RF beamforming signals; and
provide a second antenna assembly for transmitting the second outbound RF beamforming signals.

Abstract
A multiple mode RF transmitter a baseband section, a transmitter section, and a configurable antenna circuit. The transmitter section is couple to convert a first outbound symbol stream into first outbound RF beamforming signals in accordance with a first beamforming setting and convert a second outbound symbol stream into second outbound RF beamforming signals in accordance with a second beamforming setting. The configurable antenna circuit is coupled to provide a first antenna assembly for transmitting the first outbound RF beamforming signals and provide a second antenna assembly for transmitting the second outbound RF beamforming signals.
