Abstract:
1. A method to reduce listenable audio frequency interruptions that emit from a satellite receiver, the satellite receiver including long time interleaver (LTI) device circuitry and forward error correction (FEC) circuitry and configured to receive satellite radio frequency (RF) signals, the method comprising: storing a predetermined threshold value based on an electric parameter associated with the received satellite RF signals in a memory of the satellite receiver; monitoring a received bit preamble associated with said received satellite RF signals by the satellite receiver; comparing said received bit preamble with an expected preamble by the satellite receiver; determining a received signal correlation value associated with the received bit preamble in relation to the expected preamble by the satellite receiver; comparing the received signal correlation value to the predetermined threshold value stored in the memory by the satellite receiver; and blocking received satellite signal data transmission from entry in to an input of the LTI device circuitry by the satellite receiver when the received signal correlation value is the same as, or less than the predetermined threshold value.
