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.
Claims17
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 and a second resonant frequency;
- 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;
- wherein the device is configured to use the antenna to communicate with a first and second communication apparatuses simultaneously over the first and second frequencies,
- wherein the device is configured to perform a first function in communications with the first communication apparatus and perform a second function, different from the first function, in communications with the second communication apparatus.
