Claim:
1. A method of controlling a first radio transceiver and a second radio transceiver which are connected to a common oscillator, wherein each of the first radio transceiver and the second radio transceiver is capable of communicating with one or more remote radio transceivers, the method comprising: the first radio transceiver sending a synchronisation signal to the second radio transceiver; the second radio transceiver generating a local signal identical to the synchronisation signal; each of the first radio transceiver and the second radio transceiver switching periodically with a fixed period from a transmitting state, in which the first radio transceiver and the second radio transceiver are able to transmit data, to a receiving state, in which the first radio transceiver and the second radio transceiver are able to receive data; and the second radio transceiver using the local signal to control a phase offset between the periodic switching of the first radio transceiver and the periodic switching of the second radio transceiver in order that neither the first radio transceiver nor the second radio transceiver transmits data while the other radio transceiver is in the receiving state.
