Patent ID: 8315570

Claim:
A frequency scouting circuit collocated on a die with one or more other radio frequency integrated circuits and being functionally associated with a wireless video streaming circuit, wherein said scouting circuit comprises: an adjustable frequency synthesizer adapted to generate a mixing signal at a given frequency; a down converter functionally associated with said synthesizer and adapted to down convert signals at substantially the mixing signal frequency; control logic adapted to alternate the given frequency through a set of possible transmission carrier frequencies corresponding to optional transmission carrier frequencies of the functionally associated wireless video streaming circuit based on an indicator of suitability of carrier frequencies; and a channel monitoring circuit block adapted to, during wireless video transmission of a given video stream over a first carrier frequency out of the set of possible transmission carrier frequencies, assess suitability of the first carrier frequency and at least a second optional transmission carrier frequency and relay said indicator of first and at least second carrier frequency suitability to said control logic.
