specifications closed loop tuning along with image detection and avoidance could provide optimal performance by maximizing rejection and minimizing the image fig9 illustrates another algorithm for configuring closed loop tuning detection and avoidance 900 in a receiver in step 902 one tunes to the desired signal and receives everything in usb lsb and dsb modes then in step 904 image interference is calculated using equations 1 2 and 3 as referenced above without assumptions on rejection the question is then raised in step 906 as to whether the signal to image interference ratio is acceptable if the answer to step 906 is no then in step 908 the frequency plan is adjusted u2018 n u2019 times to find an acceptable image interference if the results to the question of step 906 are positive then in step 910 one begins to receive the signal as soon as possible interestingly in step 912 the question is asked whether an acceptable image interference is obtained if the answer to that question is positive then one moves on to step 910 if the answer to step 912 is negative then in step 914 the most favorable frequency plan identified is acquired in step 916 rf phase rf amplitude and if phase are tuned to optimize rejection the output of that step is then forwarded to.
