Abstract: A multimode wireless receiver circuit (10) includes multi-receiver control and interference detection logic (50) and least two separate receivers: a first receiver (20) associated with a first radio access technology and a second receiver (30) associated with a second radio access technology. The multi-receiver control and interference detection logic (50) simultaneously controls the second receiver (30) to detect an interference blocker signal (100), while the first receiver (20) receives at least a portion of the wireless signal (80) and the interference product signal (90). In response to the second receiver (30) detecting the interference blocker signal (100), the multi-receiver control and interference detection logic (50) adjusts at least one operating condition of the first receiver (20) such that the interference product signal (90) received by the first receiver (20) is reduced.

Abstract: A method to reduce crossmodulation in a multimode radio communication device with a transmitter, a receiver, and a second receiver (400) that operates in a receiver channel bandwidth (402) includes a step of measuring a first signal strength in the receiver channel bandwidth (404), a second signal strength outside of the receiver channel bandwidth (406), and a power level of the transmitter. A next step (408) includes determining a signal-to-crossmodulation interference ratio (SCMIR). A next step (410) includes calculating a SCMIR threshold. A next step (412) includes comparing the ratio to the threshold. A next step (416,420) includes increasing the linearity of the receiver if the ratio is less than the threshold.
