Patent ID: 8582702

Claim:
An electronic device comprising: an analog-to-digital converter configured to receive a radio-frequency signal and to generate therefrom a digital signal; a controller configured to measure a characteristic of the digital signal and to generate therefrom a selection signal having a first value indicating a non-interference condition in the radio-frequency signal and having a second value indicating an interference condition in the radio-frequency signal; and a selector configured to transmit the digital signal when the selection signal has the first value and configured to transmit a signal replacing the digital signal when the selection signal has the second value, wherein: when a value of the measured characteristic is greater than or equal to an interference detection threshold, the controller is configured to set the selection signal to the second value; and when the value of the measured characteristic is smaller than an interference fading threshold, the controller is configured to set the selection signal to the first value, wherein the interference detection threshold is greater than the interference fading threshold.
