Patent ID: 8472572

Claim:
A receiver with Automatic Frequency Control (“AFC”), said receiver comprising: at least one input signal terminal; an offset frequency estimation means for estimating each offset frequency of at least two predetermined input signals inputted at the same time at the input signal terminal, access to the receiver of each input signal being respectively modulated and identified by a distinct code, wherein the offset frequency estimation means includes a plurality of frequency estimators; and AFC means distinct from and coupled to the offset frequency estimation means to perform automatic frequency control of a voltage control oscillator serving as a frequency reference of the receiver, characterized in that the AFC means are able to provide a unique compensation command defined as a function of a combination of at least two analytical terms, wherein the AFC means includes a plurality of power estimators for estimating the power for each of the at least two predetermined input signals, and wherein each analytical term is respectively generated by multiplying the estimated offset frequency with the estimated power of the corresponding input signal.
