    Abstract: Radio frequency (RF) communication circuitry comprises an RF transceiver and conflict detection circuitry. The RF transceiver includes a first communication path configured to down-convert received RF signals using a first local oscillator (LO) receive frequency; and a second communication path configured to down-convert received RF signals using a second LO receive frequency and to operate simultaneously with the first communication path. The conflict detection circuitry is configured to determine path crosstalk using the first and second LO receive frequencies and using a first LO transmit frequency used by the first RF transceiver or a second RF transceiver to up-convert electrical signals for RF transmission, and initiate a change of the first LO receive frequency by a first frequency shift value and a change of the second LO receive frequency by a second frequency shift value in response to the path crosstalk.

The pulse pattern includes at least two pulses spaced apart by a gap having the gap duration. The generation circuitry is configured to generate an LO signal characterized by the selected pulse pattern and gap duration.

    Abstract: A receiving apparatus comprises: a plurality of tuners; and a controller that controls a frequency of a local oscillation signal from each tuner such that a frequency of a synthetic signal generated by multiplying the local oscillation signals from the plurality of tuners by each other does not fall in a frequency band of a channel selected by each tuner. Deterioration in reception quality due to the multiplication of the local oscillation signals is prevented.

    Abstract: An apparatus includes a controller configured to be coupled to a system clock that generates a clock signal for a device that generates radiated electromagnetic interference (RE). The controller is also configured to determine a frequency span associated with the system clock, where the frequency span has a minimum frequency and a maximum frequency. The controller is further configured to determine a sequence of frequency steps, where each frequency step is associated with a distinct frequency within the frequency span. In addition, the controller is configured to control the system clock to change a frequency of the clock signal through the sequence of frequency steps in order to reduce the RE generated at or by the device. In some embodiments, the frequency steps are interleaved across the frequency span to avoid large frequency jumps. In some embodiments, the frequency step duration is optimally selected to reduce quasi peak values.

    Abstract: Devices and methods are disclosed for generating, filtering, and amplifying signals that are sent and received using SOCs. These improved methods and devices advantageously provide filtering of composite RF signals such that the RF signals can be transmitted with an improved SNR. Such filtered signals can then be transmitted at a higher power. Because filtering is performed at an intermediate frequency, the higher cost of low-noise RF-transmitters and/or RF filtering components can be avoided. Accordingly, less expensive (e.g., noisier) components, such as readily available wireless transceiver SOCs, can be used for generating RF signals, filtering the signals, and then transmitting the filtered signals at higher power. As a result of these devices and methods, inexpensive SOCs may be used at higher powers and over longer ranges than would be normally expected
