Abstract:
1. A scan system operative to receive signals within a band from an antenna comprising: a tuner operative to tune to two or more sub-bands within the band and operative to generate a tuned analog signal; an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) coupled to the tuner and operative to convert the tuned analog signal to a digital signal; an on-channel selection block responsive to the digital signal and operable to: an out-of-channel selection block responsive to the digital signal and operable to select only the out-of-channel frequencies and to substantially disregard the on-channel frequencies from the received signal and operable to: generate a second FOM of out-of-channel signal representing a measurement of the signal quality of the out-of-channel signal; and a finite state machine (FSM) responsive to the first FOM on-channel signal and the second FOM out-of-channel signal and operable to:
