A channel selection apparatus having a double superhet tuner section (15) for converting one of a plurality of television channels contained in an input signal to a fixedly predetermined channel, includes an AFC circuit (11) for producing a frequency control voltage to execute closed-loop frequency control of the second local oscillator (5) of the tuner section while an AFC switch (16) is set in a first condition, whereas when the AFC switch is set in a second condition, a fixed frequency control voltage is applied to the second local oscillator and the frequency control voltage is applied to adust the oscillation frequency of the first local oscillator (2) of the tuner section such as to compensate for any offset in the transmission frequency of a currently selected channel.

An A.F.C. control system for reception of wide-band F.M. transmission such as satellite transmissions, in which a center frequency of an F.M. I.F. signal is repetitively and alternately compared with an upper and a lower frequency limit value so long as the center frequency lies between these values, with the results of the comparisons being respectively stored in two latch memories (28, 29), whose contents thereby indicate any error of the center frequency relative to the frequency limits. Any departure of the center frequency from between the limits is corrected by successive frequency shifts of the local oscillator (4) frequency, with the results of correction being indicated by the latch memory contents and with the number of frequency shifts being determined accordingly.

A wireless system includes a local oscillator (LO) signal generation circuit, a receiver (RX) circuit, and a calibration circuit. The LO signal generation circuit generates an LO signal according to a reference clock. The LO signal generation circuit includes an active oscillator. The active oscillator generates the reference clock, wherein the active oscillator includes at least one active component, and does not include an electromechanical resonator. The RX circuit generates a down-converted RX signal by performing down-conversion upon an RX input signal according to the LO signal. The calibration circuit generates a frequency calibration control output according to a signal characteristic of the down-converted RX signal, and outputs the frequency calibration control output to the LO signal generation circuit. The LO signal generation circuit adjusts an LO frequency of the LO signal in response to the frequency calibration control output.

The invention relates to a method and a system for generating clock signals in a wireless communication device. The method includes generating an uncorrected reference clock signal, generating at least one frequency correction value corresponding to a frequency error in the uncorrected reference clock signal, and generating at least one radio frequency clock signal based on the uncorrected clock signal and the at least one frequency correction value, for receiving and transmitting radio frequency signals.
