Abstract
At least some embodiments are directed to a receiver system that comprises a first oscillation module configured to provide oscillating signals of differing frequencies and a second oscillation module configured to provide other oscillating signals of the differing frequencies. The second oscillation module is configured to produce less noise than the first oscillation module. A controller is coupled to the first and second oscillation modules and configured to selectively activate and deactivate each of the first and second oscillation modules based on signal strengths of primary signals received via a wireless medium and based on signal strengths of interference signals received via the wireless medium.
