A reconfigurable
wireless transceiver and method of use are disclosed. As one example, a reconfigurable
wireless transceiver is disclosed, which includes a
transmitter unit, a plurality of
receiver units, and a
processing unit coupled to the plurality of
receiver units. A first
receiver unit of the plurality of receiver units receives a first
signal at a first frequency, and determines a strength level of the first
signal. A second receiver unit of the plurality of receiver units searches for a second
signal at a second frequency, detects the second signal at the second frequency, and determines a strength level of the detected second signal. The
processing unit determines if the strength level of the detected second signal is greater than a predetermined value, and enables the second receiver unit to receive a third signal at substantially the second frequency, if the strength level of the detected second signal is greater than the predetermined value. The predetermined value may be substantially equal to the
signal strength of the received first signal, and the third signal may be associated with over-the-air
programming or tasking. As a second example, a method for reconfiguring a
wireless transceiver is disclosed, which includes receiving a first signal in a first
frequency band, determining a
signal strength of the received signal, searching for a second signal in a second
frequency band, detecting the second signal, determining a
signal strength of the detected second signal, comparing the signal strength of the received first signal with a predetermined signal strength value, and enabling reception of the detected second signal and disabling reception of the first signal, if the signal strength of the detected second signal is greater than the predetermined signal strength value.
