Patent ID: 7268644

Claim:
A method for controlling receivers connected to a common antenna, each of the receivers having a respective allocated prefilter with a band filter characteristic, each of the receivers being set to a different reception frequency, the method comprising: controlling a position of each passband of each of the prefilters so that each of the set reception frequencies lies respectively in the passband of the prefilter allocated to the respective receiver; wherein, in response to a degradation of a quality of reception of a radio frequency, received using a first one of the receivers, to below a predefined value, and when the reception frequency of at least another one of the receivers does not demonstrate a predefined minimum frequency distance from the reception frequency of the first one of the receivers, the reception frequency of the at least another one of the receivers is set in such a way that it maintains a predefined minimum frequency distance from the reception frequency of the first one of the receivers.
