Abstract
System (201) for mitigating co-site interference includes a co-site filter bank (208) containing filters (2061, 2062, . . . 206n) which can be optionally selectively inserted in an antenna input/output path (2051, 2052, . . . 205n) of two or more transceivers (2041, 2042, . . . 204n). A control system (900) receives information concerning the transceivers. Based on the information, the control system determines whether optional RF filtering should be used to limit RF signals which are communicated to or from the transceivers so as to mitigate co-site interference.
Claims15
A method for mitigating interference among a plurality of transceivers communicating using RF signals and located in close physical proximity, comprising:
- receiving at a computer processor information concerning at least an operating frequency and a transmitter power output associated with each of said plurality of transceivers;
- determining with said computer processor based on said information whether optional RF filtering should be used to limit RF signals which are communicated to or from each transceiver in order mitigate interference among said plurality of transceivers;
- if said determining indicates that said optional RF filtering should be used, then automatically selectively performing said RF filtering to mitigate said interference.

- a co-site filter bank comprising a plurality of RF filters which can be optionally selectively inserted in an antenna input/output path of said plurality of transceivers;
- and
- a computer processor configured to
- receive information concerning at least an operating frequency and a transmitter power output associated with each of said plurality of transceivers,
- determine based on said information whether optional RF filtering should be used to limit RF signals which are communicated to or from each of said plurality of transceivers in order mitigate co-site interference, and
- automatically selectively performing said RF filtering using said co-site filter bank to mitigate said interference if said computer processor determines that said optional RF filtering should be used.
