The present disclosure relates to a method for demodulating a radio frequency (RF) signal comprising the steps of determining the nearest harmonic of a clock signal from a central frequency (Frx) of a received frequency band; and, if said nearest harmonic is in said frequency band, setting an intermediate frequency (IF) of a Near Zero Intermediate Frequency (NZIF) receiver to the difference (SpurOffset) between said central frequency (Frx) and said nearest harmonic.

Method for demodulating a RF signal in the presence of inband harmonic spurs

A method is for rejecting spurs within a chip containing analog and digital functions. The spurs may be timed by a clock signal derived from the output frequency of a high frequency phase locked loop. Original analog rejection bandwidths associated with operation of analog functions may be determined, and then original spurs associated with operation of the digital functions and capable of directly or indirectly affecting the original analog rejection bandwidths may be identified. A final analog rejection bandwidth may be determined based on the original analog rejection bandwidths, and final spurs may be obtained based on the original spurs. A frequency shift of the output frequency of the high frequency phase locked loop to effectuate a rejection of the final spurs from the final analog rejection bandwidth may be determined, and the high frequency phase locked loop may be controlled to shift the output frequency by the frequency shift.

Method and apparatus for avoiding spurs in chip

A mobile telephony radiocommunication management process, with first time slots and second time slots being provided independently of each other, said process comprising the default selection of first time slots for transmitting/receiving first bursts corresponding to these first time slots, and in the case of a first time slot at least partially overlapping with a second time slot, choosing the first time slot or the second time slot, for respectively transmitting/receiving the first burst corresponding to the first time slot or receiving the second burst corresponding to the second time slot, with this choice being made so as to minimize the number of second bursts received for a given result.

Increased throughput in radio-frequency communications

There is described a method for optimizing block reception for products that do support a simultaneous use of at least two SIM cards.
