ABSTRACT:
A system for processing a signal comprises a Radio Frequency (RF) signal tuner, one or more filters in a signal path of the RF tuner each based on Inductive/Capacitive (LC) circuitry, a variation unit operable to measure a variation of the LC circuitry, and a frequency control unit adapted to adjust the one or more filters based on the LC variation during operation of the tuner.
