Patent ID: 8155600

Claim:
A method, comprising: setting a center frequency of a local oscillator used by a radio frequency (RF) transceiver; sequentially applying each of a plurality of predetermined offsets to the center frequency of the local oscillator; determining a plurality of metrics indicative of the quality of a received signal, each of the plurality of metrics corresponding to a different predetermined offset of the plurality of predetermined offsets; and determining each predetermined offset of the plurality of predetermined offsets such that each predetermined offset value differs from at least one other predetermined offset value by an increment value, wherein the number of predetermined offsets multiplied by the increment value equals the sum of the accuracy of the received signal and the accuracy of the local oscillator; selecting a predetermined offset of the plurality of predetermined offsets that results in a metric indicating a received signal that is higher in quality than the received signal that results when applying each of the remaining predetermined offsets of the plurality of offsets.
