Patent ID: 8660604

Claim:
A method for supporting wireless communication, the method comprising: providing near field communication (NFC) data via an NFC processor to an NFC transceiver; providing a first signal generated by a first programmable synthesizer to the NFC transceiver; modulating, in the NFC transceiver, the NFC data onto the first signal to generate a first modulated signal; transmitting the first modulated signal via the NFC transceiver; providing Bluetooth data via a Bluetooth processor to a Bluetooth transceiver, the Bluetooth processor being separate from the NFC processor; providing a second signal generated by a second programmable synthesizer to the Bluetooth transceiver; modulating, in the Bluetooth transceiver, the Bluetooth data onto the second signal to generate a second modulated signal; transmitting the second modulated signal via the Bluetooth transceiver; and controlling the first programmable synthesizer and the second programmable synthesizer via a same frequency controller communicatively coupled to the NFC processor and to the Bluetooth processor.
