Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus is disclosed for injecting a frequency-modulated signal into a receiver. In an example aspect, the apparatus includes a receiver, a local oscillator circuit, and an injection circuit. The receiver comprises a signal propagation path. The local oscillator circuit is configured to generate a frequency-modulated signal. The injection circuit is coupled to the receiver and the local oscillator circuit. The injection circuit is configured to selectively connect the local oscillator circuit to the signal propagation path of the receiver to inject the frequency-modulated signal into the signal propagation path of the receiver. The injection circuit is also configured to disconnect the local oscillator circuit from the signal propagation path of the receiver.
