Dynamic frequency shift to mitigate noise figure (NF) degradation

An apparatus for wireless communication, comprising:

• one or more memories collectively storing executable instructions;
• and
• one or more processors coupled to the one or more memories, the one or more processors being collectively configured to execute the executable instructions to cause the apparatus to:
• compare a requested local oscillator (LO) frequency for a first LO signal of a first subscriber with an LO frequency for a second LO signal of a second subscriber;
• determine a frequency offset for the first LO signal based on the comparison;
• and
• tune a frequency of the first LO signal based on the requested LO frequency and the frequency offset, wherein the LO frequency of the second LO signal is tuned before reception of the requested LO frequency for the first LO signal.

A wireless device, comprising:

• a receiver comprising:
• a first receive path for a first subscriber, the first receive path including a first mixer for signal down-conversion using a first local oscillator (LO) signal;
• and
• a second receive path for a second subscriber, the second receive path including a second mixer for signal down-conversion using a second LO signal;
• and
• one or more controllers coupled to the receiver and collectively configured to:
• compare a requested LO frequency for the first LO signal with an LO frequency of the second LO signal;
• determine a frequency offset for the first LO signal based on the comparison;
• and
• tune a frequency of the first LO signal based on the requested LO frequency and the frequency offset, wherein the LO frequency of the second LO signal is tuned before reception of the requested LO frequency for the first LO signal.
