Patent ID: 7904042

Claim:
A communication device, comprising: an input that receives a wireless signal; a down conversion module implemented to: perform low side injection down conversion processing thereby generating a first down converted signal that includes a first image and a first signal component; and perform high side injection down conversion processing thereby generating a second down converted signal that includes a second image and a second signal component; a baseband processing module implemented to receive the first down converted signal or the second down converted signal; a processing module implemented to: determine a signal strength of the first image and a signal strength of the first signal component; if the signal strength of the first image is less than and the signal strength of the first signal component based on a first threshold, then the processing module directs the baseband processing module to receive the first down converted signal; and if the signal strength of the first image is greater than and the signal strength of the first signal component based on a second threshold, then the processing module directs the baseband processing module to receive the second down converted signal.
