Patent ID: 6999535

Claim:
Apparatus for a radio device operable at least to receive a receive signal, the receive signal formed of a desired component transmitted to the radio device upon a desired receive band of first frequencies and at least potentially a non-desired component transmitted to the radio device upon an other-than-desired receive band of second frequencies, the second frequencies dissimilar to the first frequencies, said apparatus for facilitating recovery of the desired component of the receive signal, said apparatus comprising: a non-desired component indicia detector adapted to receive indications of the receive signal that contains the desired component and at least potentially the non-desired component, said non-desired component indicia detector configured to detect an indicia of the non-desired component transmitted upon the other-than-desired receive band of the second frequencies of the receive signal, and for forming a detection signal indicative of the non-desired component of the receive signal, free of indications of the desired component transmitted upon the desired receive band of the first frequencies; a receive signal sampler also adapted to receive the indications of the receive signal and adapted to receive the detection signal formed by said non-desired component indicia detector responsive to detection of the indications of the indicia of the non-desired component of the receive signal detected by said non-desired component indicia detector, said receive signal sampler configured to sample the receive signal at sampling times selected responsive to the indicia detected by said non-desired component indicia detector and to form a sampled signal, the sampled signal formed of signal samples, the signal samples free of the non-desired component transmitted upon the other-than-desired receive band of the second frequencies through appropriate selection of sampling times at which the indications of the receive signal are sampled, the receive signal once sampled, representative of the desired component transmitted upon the desired frequency band of the first frequencies of the receive signal.
