The present disclosure includes systems and techniques relating to time-varying notch filter. In one implementation, an apparatus includes a time-variant notch filter and a controller. The time-variant notch filter includes a notch depth and a notch bandwidth centered on a notch frequency. At least one of the notch depth or the notch bandwidth is based on a coefficient of the notch filter. The controller is configured to estimate a power of a packet being received and compare the estimated power of the packet to a predetermined threshold. The controller is also configured to set, conditioned on determining that the estimated power of the packet is greater than the predetermined threshold, a value of the coefficient to a first value such that the packet bypasses the time-variant notch filter.

Wireless noise is detected within a time period specifically held after a data packet is wirelessly communicated, where no data is purposefully wirelessly communicated during this time period. The time period may be an inter-frame space (IFS) period within which no data is to be wirelessly communicated, and that is a period waited for prior to accessing a wireless medium over which data is wirelessly communicated. One or more actions are performed to counteract the noise. The frequency at which a liquid crystal display is being driven may be decreased so that harmonics caused thereby that caused the noise are no longer within the wireless communication frequency range. An opposite-in-phase version of the noise may also or alternatively be combined with a signal when data is subsequently wirelessly received. The signal includes a data component and a noise component, the opposite-in-phase version of the noise canceling out the noise component.

A signal propagation system for communicating timing information comprises a processing resource (300) arranged to generate a first timing signal for communicating the timing information, the first timing signal having a first frequency spectrum associated therewith. An electronic circuit (110) is provided having an input for receiving the timing information. An electrical connection (310) between the processing resource (300) and the electronic circuit (110) is also provided. A signal transformation module (304) for communicating the timing information, and the signal transformation module (304) is arranged to translate the first timing signal into a second timing signal for communicating the timing information. The second timing signal has a second frequency spectrum associated therewith that comprises fewer harmonics than the first timing signal, thereby reducing electromagnetic energy emitted by the electrical connection.

A novel and useful apparatus for and method of distributed coexistence for mitigating interference in a single chip radio and/or a multi-radio (i.e. multi-transceiver) communications device. The invention enables coexistence ‘friendly’ radio IPs having frequency agility in that they are capable of shifting their clock frequencies thereby avoiding frequency bands of potential victim radios. Frequency agility on the aggressor radio side (rather than by mitigating the effect of interference on the victim radio side) prevents harmonics from the aggressor's clock scheme from falling in the operating frequency band of the victim radio, and in turn causing degradation to its performance. Each aggressor radio, based on information received from other radios, configures the root clock frequency of its RX and/or TX chain clock generation circuits.
