摘要： A wireless communications device may include an RF transceiver. The RF transceiver may have a first connector, an RF transceiver circuit coupled to the first connector, and a probe circuit coupled to the first connector and configured to place a DC supply voltage on the first connector. The wireless communications device may include an RF antenna assembly to be coupled with the RF transceiver. The RF antenna assembly may have a second connector configured to be mated with the first connector, an RF antenna element coupled to the second connector, and an antenna ID circuit coupled to the second connector and configured to be powered from the DC supply voltage and modulate the DC supply current indicative of an ID of the RF antenna element. The probe circuit may be configured to determine the ID of the RF antenna element based upon the modulated DC supply current.
