Method and System For Bluetooth, Near Field Communication And Simultaneous FM Transmission and Reception Functions
First Claim
1. A method for wireless communication, the method comprising:
- in an RF chip comprising transmit and receive functions;
generating a first signal to enable transmission and/or reception of Bluetooth signals; and
clocking a plurality of direct digital frequency synthesizers via said generated first signal to enable simultaneous transmission and reception of frequency modulated (FM) signals, and also enable transmission and/or reception of near field communication (NFC) signals.

Abstract
Methods and systems for wireless communication are disclosed and may comprise generating a first signal to enable transmission and/or reception of Bluetooth signals, and clocking direct digital frequency synthesizers (DDFSs) via the first signal to enable simultaneous transmission and reception of FM and NFC signals. The first signal may be generated via a Bluetooth LOGEN or PLL, and may comprise in-phase and quadrature components. The frequency of the first signal may be within the range of 2.4 GHz to 2.483 GHz, or mixed to result in a frequency within the same range. Control word inputs may be generated to control the DDFSs, and may be adjusted to compensate for changes in frequency of the first signal. Simultaneous NFC transmission and reception may be simulated by switching the control word inputs between a plurality of values in successive time intervals to perform time division duplexing, and may occur at different frequencies.
