An apparatus for the cancellation of an isofrequency interfering signal having the same modulation of a transmitted signal in a phase modulated burst mode transmission system, each burst including a known preamble, both the isofrequency interfering signal and the transmitted signal being received in a received signal, the apparatus comprising:
- a demodulator for demodulating the received signal;
- sampler for sampling the demodulated received signal at a frequency multiple of the bit transmission frequency, producing samples;
- means for estimating amplitude, phase and synchronism parameters of the interfering signal;
- means for reconstructing the transmitted signal with a maximum likelihood estimation process employing said parameters.
