Abstract

A frequency control system for a dual-mode radiotelephone (152-238; 252-320) operative to receive either an FM signal or a DQPSK signal. In a first embodiment, when operative to receive the FM signal, the frequency of the reference oscillator (192) of the radiotelephone (152-222) is maintained in a fixed relation with the frequency of the FM signal. When operative to receive the DQPSK signal, the reference oscillator (192) is maintained in a fixed relation with the frequency of the DQPSK signal as determined by a digital signal processor (212). In a second embodiment, when operative to receive the FM signal, the frequency of an offset control oscillator (320) is maintained in a fixed relation with the frequency of the FM signal. When operative to receive the DQPSK signal, the reference oscillator (292) is maintained in a fixed relation with the frequency of the DQPSK signal as determined by a digital signal processor (312).
