An RF signal is tuned by: producing a first signal at a first frequency using a digital sequence generator; filtering the first signal using a frequency-tunable tracking filter that is tuned to the first frequency, the tracking filter comprising one or more variable resonators; tuning the tracking filter from the first frequency to a second frequency over a transition period; and tuning the first signal to the second frequency by causing the digital sequence generator to transition between two or more states during the transition period. The two or more states are selected such that, immediately after the transition period, the analog signal substantially matches a desired steady state at the second frequency.

Systems and methods are provided for implementing bandstop filters (e.g., RF/microwave bandstop filters) that can automatically tune to a frequency of an interfering signal. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide automatically tunable signal-tracking bandstop filters with a significant reduction in response time, complexity, size, weight, and cost when compared to conventional devices.

A broadcast receiver includes a processor that processes a broadcasting signal, a detector that detects a level of a signal of a first predetermined band of the broadcasting signal, and an adjuster that adjusts at least one of a characteristic and an operation of the processor based on the detected level.
