Patent ID: 8583197

Claim:
A method, comprising: receiving and/or transmitting radio signals on a plurality of radio frequencies via a configured multi-frequency antenna system, wherein: said multi-frequency antenna system comprises a plurality of antennas coupled together via one or more frequency dependent coupling elements such that: said plurality of antennas function as a single antenna for a first portion of said plurality of radio frequencies such that received and/or transmitted signals in said first portion of said plurality of radio frequencies are coupled from one or more radio frequency front-ends to each of said plurality of antennas via a single input/output; and said plurality of antennas function as a plurality of antennas for a second portion of said plurality of radio frequencies such that received and/or transmitted signals in said second portion of said plurality of radio frequencies are coupled separately to each of said plurality of antennas via a respective one of a corresponding plurality of input/outputs from said one or more radio frequency front ends.
