Abstract

The present invention discloses an antenna diversity switch, used for receiving and transmitting RF signals for dual-mode co-existence wireless communication system. The antenna diversity switch comprises a first transmitting port; a second transmitting port; a receiving port; a first control unit, electrically connected between the first transmitting port and a first antenna; a second control unit, electrically connected between the first transmitting port and a second antenna; a third control unit, electrically connected between the second transmitting port and the first antenna; a forth control unit, electrically connected between the second transmitting port and the second antenna; a fifth control unit, electrically connected between the receiving port and the first antenna; a sixth control unit, electrically connected between the receiving port and the second antenna. The antenna diversity switch according to the present invention meets the requirement of IEEE 802.11b/g WLAN and Bluetooth co-existence operation with reduction of three or four antennas in the prior art to two antennas. Moreover, it provides antenna diversity for both WLAN and Bluetooth systems, where in the pri…
