Abstract

In accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure, a transmitting path comprises a digital to analog converter (DAC) configured to receive digital data signals and convert the digital data signals into analog data signals. The transmitting path further comprises a first transmission protocol path and a second transmission protocol path configured to receive a first data signal and second data signal, respectively, from the DAC. The first data signal is associated with a first transmission protocol and the second data signal is associated with the second transmission protocol. The transmitting path additionally comprises a mixer coupled to the first and second transmission protocol paths and configured to receive at least one of the first data signal and the second data signal and modulate at least one of the first data signal and the second data signal onto a carrier signal to generate a radio frequency (RF) signal.
