Abstract
Methods and apparatus of a switching multi-mode antenna of a user device are described. A switching multi-mode antenna is coupled to receive an RF input from one of at least two radio frequency (RF) feeds via a switch. The switching multi-mode antenna includes multiple antenna structures to communicate information in multiple frequency bands. A first antenna structure is configured to transmit first information in one of the frequency bands and a second antenna structure is configured to receive second information in the same one of the frequency bands.
