Claim:
1. A method for wireless communication, the method comprising: in a wireless communication device comprising a body and a plurality of remote RF modules within said body of said wireless communication device, the plurality of remote RF modules providing no additional power amplification, generating an IF signal from a baseband signal in said wireless communication device; amplifying said IF signal with a power amplifier in a final amplification stage prior to conveyance to the remote RF modules via one or more coaxial lines, the amplified IF signal being an analog signal; communicating the amplified IF signal, over a first communication path that includes a common coaxial line in said body of said wireless communication device to a first remote RF module that operates in a first RF band, and over a second communication path that includes the common coaxial line to a second RF module that operates in a second RF band that is different that the first RF band; up-converting the amplified IF signal to a first RF signal in the first RF band at the first remote RF module, and a second RF signal in the second RF band at the second RF module; communicating a first low frequency control signal at a lower frequency band than the IF signal to the first remote RF module and a second low frequency signal to the second RF module over the common coaxial line; and concurrently transmitting said first RF signal via a first antenna and transmitting the second RF signal via a second antenna.
