Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to a transceiver operating in a wireless communication network, the transceiver comprising an RF circuit and a selection mechanism for selecting an antenna for communication. The switching mechanism includes one or more electro-mechanical switches and one or more solid-state switches, each being selectable for operation in response to a control signal received from the control system. The solid-state switches are configured to establish an electrical connection between the RF circuit and an antenna if a first condition is satisfied, and are further configured to select an antenna from a plurality of antennas that can be selected by the solid-state switches based on an outcome of a second condition such that the selected antenna is used for communication. If the first condition is not satisfied, the electro-mechanical switches are configured to establish an electrical connection between the RF circuit and an antenna such that this antenna is used for communication by the transceiver.
