Patent ID: 8170494

Claim:
A transceiver for a communication system, the transceiver comprising: a transmitter operable to transmit communication signals; a receiver operable to receive communication signals; and a modulator coupled with the receiver and the transmitter, the modulator operable to: during a transmit time interval of the transceiver, generate a modulated communication signal for transmission based, at least in part, on a modulation input signal received at the modulator; and during a receive time interval of the transceiver, generate a local oscillator (LO) signal based, at least in part, on the modulation input signal; the receiver, during the receive time interval of the transceiver, is operable to: process a communication signal received from a remote transmitter based, at least in part, on the LO signal received from the modulator; determine a frequency offset error during processing of the communication signal; provide a frequency offset error signal to the modulator; the modulator, during the receive time interval of the transceiver, is further operable to: modify the modulation input signal received at the modulator based, at least in part, on the frequency offset error signal received from the receiver; modify a frequency of the LO signal based, at least in part, on the modified modulation input signal; and provide the modified LO signal to the receiver.
