Apparatus and methods for reducing radio frequency interference produced
by switching amplifiers, includes a variable-order noise shaper in a
system that includes an AM tuner. An alternative implementation involves
determining the tuned frequency of a radio signal. A first sampling rate
is provided at which the radio signal is to be sampled. The first
sampling rate is associated with a plurality of first harmonic
frequencies. A second sampling rate is also provided and is associated
with a plurality of second harmonic frequencies different than the first
harmonic frequencies. The method involves selectively sampling the radio
signal at one of the first and second sampling rates, wherein the first
sampling rate is selected when the first harmonic frequencies do not
coincide with the tuned frequency, and the second sampling rate is
selected when the second harmonic frequencies do not coincide with the
tuned frequency. A still further alternative implementation for reducing
RFI involves the second sampling rate being derived using linear
interpolation.
