Patent ID: 8238863

Claim:
A method comprising: with an electronic device comprising a receiver enabled to perform a Fourier transform operation with a received signal: performing a calibration, at least in part, by measuring a noise power level for at least a portion of a defined signal band and identifying a noise threshold value based, at least in part, on said noise power level; identifying at least one interference signal within said defined signal band based, at least in part, on one or more electronic signals representing results from said Fourier transform operation and said noise threshold value; selectively generating one or more electronic signals to initiate operation of at least one programmable signal filter within said receiver to mitigate at least a portion of said interference signal; and selectively generating one or more electronic signals to initiate operation of at least one other programmable signal filter within said receiver to mitigate a predetermined interference signal, said predetermined interference signal being transmitted at least in part by at least one circuit within said electronic device.
