A wireless communication device (50) can include a radio frequency
transceiver (52), an audio drive circuit (58) coupled to the transceiver,
a speaker (10) having a voice coil (16) coupled to the audio drive
circuit, and an antenna feed or radiating circuit (20) such as an RFID or
NFID circuit coupled to the voice coil for at least radiating or
receiving an electromagnetic signal via the voice coil. Such radiating
circuits can be coupled to the voice coil using a band pass circuit
designed to substantially prevent a radiating signal from the radiating
circuit from interfering with audio drive circuit driving the speaker.
The wireless communication device can further include an antenna (54)
coupled to the radio frequency transceiver. Note, this arrangement can be
designed to avoid problems involving electrostatic discharge sensitivity,
electromagnetic interference coupling between the antenna and the voice
coil, total radiated power, and specific absorption rate.
