Abstract

A method of programming a ROM for a multiple conversion frequency synthesizer provides a mechanism for avoiding receiver self-quieting. The method includes the steps of searching for frequencies which cause potential receiver self-quieting responses and selecting a second local oscillator frequency suitable for avoiding receiver self-quieting. A single bit of a ROM is used to represent possible second local oscillator frequencies synthesized by the frequency synthesizer which provide either high-side or low-side injection to the second mixer. Finally, the method includes the step of encoding the single second local oscillator frequency determining bit of the ROM appropriately for selecting the local oscillator frequency which avoids receiver self-quieting.
