Abstract
A method and apparatus is disclosed for improving performance of a communication receiver. An exemplary method comprises calculating a rate of error associated with a received signal at a first time; comparing the rate of error at the first time to a first threshold rate of error; if the rate of error at the first time exceeds the first threshold rate of error, increasing current provided to a mixer in the receiver; calculating a rate of error associated with a received signal at a second time; comparing the rate of error at the second time to a second threshold rate of error; and if the rate of error at the second time is less than the second threshold rate of error, resetting the mixer current.
