Abstract: Systems and methods for antenna selection in a wireless terminal with two radios are provided. Signals received using first and second antennas are demodulated by first and second modems according to first and second protocols. A receive path between the second antenna and the second modem can be controlled to receive signals according to the first protocol. A performance measure of demodulating, according to the first protocol, a signal received using the second antenna is determined. The performance measure may be determined using a mirror module in the second modem or using a search module in the first modem. The wireless terminal switches antennas so that the first modem demodulates a signal received using the second antenna, if the performance measure for using the second antenna is such that the switch would improve performance of the first modem.

Abstract: Systems and methods for antenna switching without using a radio-frequency switch are provided. A signal received via a first antenna is digitized to form a first digital received signal. A signal received via a second antenna is digitized to form a second digital received signal. A switch selects the first digital received signal or the second digital received signal to be supplied to a modem to be demodulated. The switch may also supply a digital transmit signal from the modem to be supplied to digital-to-analog converters to and then transmitted using the first or second antenna. Additionally, when the modem is demodulating the signal received via the first antenna, another modem may be demodulating the signal received via the second antenna and vice versa.
