Patent ID: 8576897

Claim:
A method of determining a maximum conversion rate for an analog-to-digital converter of a transceiver, the transceiver comprising a transmitter, a temperature compensation unit and a receiver, the receiver comprising said analog-to-digital converter, the method comprising: determining the maximum conversion rate for the analog-to-digital converter from among a plurality of possible maximum conversion rates, wherein the step of determining said maximum conversion rate comprises determining a temperature by the temperature compensation unit and then determining, dependent on the determined temperature, which of the plurality of possible maximum conversion rates will be the determined maximum conversion rate as a function of the temperature; and selecting a conversion rate for the analog-to-digital converter that is equal to or less than the determined maximum conversion rate based on the determined maximum conversion rate and a frequency of an unwanted signal component of the receiver, such that the selected conversion rate places an alias response of the unwanted signal component to a frequency range which is substantially non-overlapping with a wanted signal component of the receiver.
