Abstract
Systems and methods for adaptive cancellation of carrier content includes receiving a signal, adaptively detecting an amount of carrier content in the received signal, generating a feedback signal for canceling out the carrier content in the incoming signal, and introducing the feedback signal for canceling out a majority of carrier content in the signal being received
Claims19
A method for adaptive cancellation of carrier content, comprising:
- outputting a carrier signal;
- receiving a first wireless incoming signal;
- at a first speed, generating a feedback signal for cancelling out carrier content from the first wireless incoming signal;
- receiving a second wireless incoming signal;
- analyzing the second wireless incoming signal;
- and
- canceling a majority of a carrier signal from the second wireless incoming signal based at least in part on the analysis of the second wireless incoming signal.
A method for adaptive cancellation of carrier content in a feedback loop with variable response times, comprising:
- at a first speed defined by a response time of the feedback loop:
- outputting a carrier signal:
- receiving an incoming signal;
- generating a feedback signal for canceling out carrier content from the incoming signal;
- and
- feeding the feedback signal back into the incoming signal;
- at a second speed slower than the first speed:
- receiving the incoming signal;
- detecting variations in the carrier content of the incoming signal;
- continuously adjusting the feedback signal based on the variations in the carrier content in the incoming signal for canceling the carrier content in the incoming signal.
A system for adaptive cancellation of carrier content, comprising:
- an input for receiving an incoming signal from an antenna;
- an analog mechanism for subtracting a carrier signal and its associate phase noise from the incoming signal, and
- a transmitter for transmitting an outgoing signal, wherein the system has an active mode and a suspended mode, operation of the analog mechanism being suspended in the suspended mode, wherein the suspended mode is invoked during modulation by the transmitter.
