A radio using non-simultaneous frequency diversity includes: an antenna, a
radio frequency module coupled to the antenna such that the radio
frequency module is operable to transmit or receive radio frequency
signals using the antenna, and a baseband module coupled to the radio
frequency module. The baseband module is operable to transmit or receive
signals through the radio frequency module, such that signals transmitted
or received by the radio employ non-simultaneous frequency diversity. A
method for transmitting information using non-simultaneous frequency
diversity includes: identifying information to be transmitted,
transmitting the identified information on a first channel, and after a
predetermined amount of time, transmitting the identified information on
a second channel. A method for receiving information transmitted using
non-simultaneous frequency diversity includes receiving a first signal
transmitted on a first channel; after a predetermined amount of time,
receiving a second signal transmitted on a second channel; and
identifying transmitted information based on the first signal and the
second signal.
