Patent ID: 8364102

Claim:
An apparatus comprising: a mode controller configured to switch tuning devices at predetermined locations in the apparatus to enable communication at a predetermined frequency, and the mode controller changes modes in response to a detection of interference; a first tunable filter on a transmit path to receive a mode control signal from the mode controller, to receive a signal to be transmitted and to provide a filtered output signal responsive to the mode control signal and the signal to be transmitted, the mode control signal associated with a predetermined local area network protocol having the predetermined frequency; a tunable power amplifier on the transmit path, to receive a mode control signal from the mode controller, to receive the filtered output signal and to provide an amplified signal suitable for a wireless transmission; and a second tunable filter on the transmit path to receive a mode control signal from the mode controller and the amplified signal and to produce a transmittable signal, where a single transmit path can be utilized to transmit the transmittable signal in at least two different modes responsive to the mode controller.
