Abstract
A method and apparatus for mitigating interference in a satellite signal receiver is described. The satellite signal receiver receives satellite signals from a plurality of satellites. In one example, a control signal is transmitted to the satellite signal receiver upon occurrence of data transmission from a wireless transceiver operating in proximity to the satellite signal receiver. Signal integration within the satellite signal receiver is gated in response to the control signal. In another example, one or more values of satellite signal samples are selected from a plurality of possible values. Signal integration within the satellite signal receiver is gated in response to a percentage of satellite signal samples taken over a predefined period exceeding a predefined threshold. In yet another example, a gain setting of an automatic gain control circuit within the satellite signal receiver is adjusted in response to detection of interference.
