ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, the present invention includes a method for filtering an incoming signal in a channel filter of an automatic frequency control (AFC) loop to obtain a filtered incoming signal, generating a frequency offset from the filtered incoming signal in the AFC loop, removing the frequency offset from the incoming signal to obtain an adjusted signal, and providing the adjusted signal to an input of the channel filter.
