Abstract:
In a communication station having first circuitry operable to communicate pursuant to a first communication system and at least second circuitry operable to communicate pursuant to a second communication system, an improvement of switch assembly for switchingly connecting a selected one of a first antenna transducer port, a second antenna transducer port and at least a third antenna transducer port with a selected one of the first circuitry, and at least second circuitry, said switch assembly comprising:a first switch element set coupled to the first antenna transducer port, to the first circuitry and to the second circuitry, said first switch element set selectably operable to connect the first antenna transducer port to a selected one, if any, of the first circuitry and the at least second circuitry; a second switch element set coupled to the second antenna transducer port, to the first circuitry, and to the at least the second circuitry, said second switch element set selectably operable to connect the second antenna transducer port to a selected one, if any, of the first circuitry and the at least second circuitry, a third switch element set coupled to the third antenna transducer port, to the first circuitry, said third witch clement set selectably operable to connect the third antenna transducer port to a selected one, if any, of the first circuitry and the at least second circuitry, and a controller coupled to said first switch element set and to said second switch element set, and controller for controlling positioning of said switch slant set and said second switch element set.
