Abstract

A method and system for wireless communication is provided and may include transmitting FM radio signals utilizing antenna configurations in a wireless device including a frequency modulation (FM) radio transmitter, an FM radio receiver, and one or more other receivers. The transmitter may be calibrated based on a signal received from a second wireless device via the other receivers. The second wireless device may include an FM radio receiver and corresponding other transmitters that may utilize other wireless protocols. The signal received at the wireless device may be generated at the second wireless device via the other transmitters. A frequency of the transmitted FM radio signals may be varied, and may be utilized adjust the antenna configurations. An impedance of the antenna configurations may be matched based on the frequency variation. A capacitive and/or inductive load for the matching of the impedance of the antenna configurations may be programmably adjusted.
