Patent ID: 7949309

Claim:
A wireless communication device comprising: a processing module to: establish a wireless communication protocol in accordance with one of a plurality of operational modes of the wireless communication device; generate operational parameters based on the wireless communication protocol, in which the operational parameters include a frequency hopping pattern within a given frequency band, wherein the frequency hopping pattern establishes different center frequencies; receive a plurality of inbound symbol streams in accordance with the frequency hopping pattern; oversample the plurality of inbound symbol streams to produce a plurality of oversampled inbound symbol streams; combine the plurality of oversampled inbound symbol streams to produce a combined oversampled symbol stream; and convert the combined oversampled symbol stream into inbound data in accordance with the wireless communication protocol; a transceiver section coupled to the processing module to provide a radio frequency front-end for the wireless communication device; and an antenna system coupled to the transceiver section, in which the antenna system includes inductors and capacitors in a tuning section controlled by a control signal from a control logic to tune the tuning section based on the operational parameters.
