Abstract
A noise squelch circuit for a radio receiver (100) includes an adaptive filter (204) for shaping frequency characteristics of a demodulator out put (115) according to factors which effects squelch sensitivity. Such factors may include channel spacing of the receiver, received signal strength level, received signal deviation, and SINAD. The adaptive filter (204) comprises a switched capacitor filter, the response of which may be controlled by a control signal (212) according to one or more of such factors.
Claims4
A noise squelch circuit for a radio receiver, comprising:
- a demodulator for demodulating a received communication signal having a demodulator output;
- a filter means for adaptively shaping frequency characteristics of noise present at the demodulator output in response to a control signal, wherein said control signal corresponds to channel spacing of the radio receiver;
- and
- squelch means coupled to said filter means for squelching the radio receiver.
