An apparatus control method includes: controlling a first frequency band receive chain, of an apparatus, to alternate being on and off with a first duty cycle, the first frequency band receive chain being configured to measure satellite signals within a first frequency band; determining one or more performance criteria; and controlling, based on the one or more performance criteria, a second frequency band receive chain, of the apparatus, to alternate being on and off with a second duty cycle, the second frequency band receive chain being configured to measure satellite signals within a second frequency band.
