Abstract:
1. A system for implementing antenna diversity, comprising: a first type of radio transceiver; a second type of radio transceiver; an electronic selector module that: a first single-pole double-throw (“SPDT”) switch comprising two poles and a common terminal, the SPDT switch being controlled by the electronic selector module to selectively connect the first type of radio transceiver to at least one of a plurality of antennas; a second SPDT switch comprising two poles and a common terminal, the SPDT switch being controlled by the electronic selector module to selectively connect the second type of radio transceiver to at least one of the plurality of antennas such that the first type of radio transceiver is connected to one of the plurality of antennas when the second type of radio transceiver is connected to another one of the plurality of antennas; an antenna detector configured to detect which of the plurality of antennas is connected to a port of the first type radio of transceiver and which of the plurality of antennas is connected to a port of the second type of radio transceiver; wherein the system is further configured to:
