1. A method of controlling a radio frequency (RF) circuit comprising:
providing a memory storing data relating to configuration of the RF circuit; wherein
the RF circuit when in use is configured in dependence upon a portion of the data extracted from the memory by at least one of a portion of the RF circuit and a processor coupled to the RF circuit;
the RF circuit forms part of a wireless transmitter;
the data comprises a plurality of masks;
each mask of the plurality of masks defines an output power spectrum for the RF circuit and a configuration for each pulse of a plurality of N pulses to be generated by the RF circuit for transmitting a bit of data to be transmitted by the wireless transmitter;
the configuration for each pulse of the plurality of N pulses defines a predetermined frequency of a plurality M frequencies, a predetermined amplitude, and a predetermined pulse length; where N≥2 and M≥2;
M and N are integers; and
at least one of:
the output power spectrum defined by each mask of the plurality of masks does not overlap one or more defined frequencies associated within one or more predetermined wireless standards such that the wireless transmitter operates without filtering of an RF signal generated by the RF circuit to be transmitted by the wireless transmitter; and
the output power spectrum defined by each mask of the plurality of masks comprises notches at one or more defined frequencies associated within one or more predetermined wireless standards such that the wireless transmitter operates without filtering of the RF signal generated by the RF circuit to be transmitted by the wireless transmitter.
