Abstract

A communication device (100) having a receiver circuit (110), signal processor circuit (120), controller circuit (130), either embodied by integrated circuits or on a single integrated circuit. The transfer of signals between the circuits is timed so as to minimize the effects of noise introduced into any one of the circuits, particularly the receiver circuit (110). The center of a symbol of a received RF symbol is detected and, through hardware control or software control, the transfer of a data signal generated by the signal processor circuit (120), for example, is permitted to occur only during a period(s) of time determined to have minimal effects on the sampling of a symbol in a received signal by the receiver circuit (110).
