Abstract
A radio frequency device utilizing an antenna having a single antenna structure resonant on multiple resonant frequency ranges. The antenna can be configured to operate within multiple frequency ranges for communication according to respective protocols associated with the respective frequency ranges.
Claims16
A system, comprising:
- a device having:
- a memory configured to store at least one identification number of the device;
- an antenna system having a first resonant frequency for a first frequency band and a second resonant frequency for a second frequency band, wherein the first frequency band and the second frequency band are separate from each other;
- a transceiver coupled to the antenna system and configured to receive signals transmitted in the first frequency and signals transmitted in the second frequency;
- and
- a processor coupled with the memory and the transceiver and configured to provide the identification number of the device;
- and
- a first communication apparatus configured to communicate with the device using the first frequency;
- and
- a second communication apparatus, separate from the first communication apparatus, configured to communicate with the device using the second frequency;
- wherein the first communication apparatus and the second communication apparatus are positioned in different distance ranges from the device;
- wherein the first communication apparatus is configured to communicate with the device using a first communication protocol;
- and the second communication apparatus is configured to communicate with the device using a second communication protocol different from the first communication protocol.
