Multi-mode mobile communications device with continuous mode transceiver and methods therefor

A multi-mode wireless communications handset, comprising:

• a first transceiver having a first receiver, the first receiver is a continuous reception mode receiver;
• a first antenna coupled to the first receiver;
• a second transceiver having a second transmitter;
• a second antenna coupled to the second transmitter,
• the multi-mode wireless communication handset for operating the first receiver in a continuous reception mode and for simultaneously operating the second transmitter in a transmit mode while the first receiver is operating in the continuous reception mode.

A method in a multi-mode wireless communications device having a first transceiver and a second transceiver, comprising:

• receiving a first signal with a first receiver of the first transceiver operating in a continuous reception mode,
• the first receiver coupled to a first antenna;
• receiving a second signal with a second receiver of the second transceiver at the same time the first receiver is receiving the first signal,
• the second receiver coupled to a second antenna different than the first antenna.
