Abstract
A method of sending a data signal and a clock signal between a radio frequency circuit of a device and a baseband circuit of the device. The method comprises: determining whether at least one of the data signal and the clock signal is disturbing in that it has a harmonic within the radio frequency band. If it is determined that at least one of the data signal and the clock signal is disturbing, the method further comprises: scrambling the at least one disturbing signal to flatten the spectrum thereof for frequencies below the clock frequency F, setting a respective at least one indicator to indicate that the at least one disturbing signal has been scrambled, and sending the at least one scrambled signal between the radio frequency circuit and the baseband circuit. The method further comprises, subsequent to the step of sending the at least one scrambled signal, descrambling the at least one scrambled signal if the respective at least one indicator is set.
