Abstract
A system and/or integrated circuit are disclosed that may include a receiver, a harmonic signal generator and a signal injector. The receiver may use at least one signal line to create a baseband signal to further create a quality measure used to improve the quality of reception and based upon the receiver response to the baseband signal. The harmonic signal generator may generate harmonic signal(s) including at least one harmonic component within the receiver's reception range. The signal injector may receive the harmonic signal and a control signal to generate the signal line from the harmonic signal in response to the control signal. The receiver may implement WLAN, Bluetooth, GPS, AM, mobile TV, FM, and/or Television. A transmitter compatible with the receiver may or may not be included, and may be configured to couple at least one of its outputs to the receiver to create a second quality measure.
