    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes an energy detection circuit, a switching circuit, and a tamper response circuit. The integrated circuit has an input for receiving a radio frequency (RF) signal, a first output for providing a demodulated signal, and a second output for selectively providing a detect signal. The detect signal is provided in response to detecting that an energy of an internal signal exceeds a first threshold when the integrated circuit is in a secure mode. The switching circuit is used to alternatively switch the input of the energy detection circuit to an RF input terminal in a normal mode and to an internal antenna in a secure mode. The tamper response circuit disables a function of the integrated circuit in response to an activation of the detect signal in the secure mode.

    Abstract: In an example, a method includes: in a first mode, causing a first tuner of an entertainment system to receive and process a first RF signal from a first antenna configured for a first band to output a first audio signal of a first radio station and causing a second tuner of the entertainment system to receive a second RF signal from a second antenna configured for the first band to determine signal quality metrics for one or more radio stations of the first band; in a second mode, causing the first tuner to output a first signal representation of the first RF signal and causing the second tuner to receive and process the second RF signal to output a second signal representation of the second RF signal; and causing a phase diversity combining circuit to process the first and second signal representations to output an audio signal of the first radio station, without disruption of output from the entertainment system of a broadcast of the first radio station.
