Abstract
A method for eliminating interference signals in a direct sequence spread spectrum link involves frequency detection of interference signals by comparison of the spectrum of the composite input signal with a threshold and filtering of the composite input signal by a finite impulse response filter using rapid convolution. The detection of threshold is automatically controlled by using an estimate of the spectral input density after eliminating large interference signals.

Device for eliminating interference signals in a direct sequence spread spectrum link, which comprises:
- a first serial-parallel conversion module for blocks of size M, in which there is an overlapping of the blocks by M/2, which receives a complex input signal (s.sub.E (n)),
- a second discrete Fourier transformation module using a direct, complex, fast Fourier transform, on blocks of size M, to thus pass into the frequency domain, which receives the phase output (Phs) and amplitude output (Mag) from the first module,
- a third inverse Fourier transformation module using an inverse fast Fourier transform, on blocks of size N, receiving the amplitude and phase outputs from the preceding module,
- a fourth parallel-serial conversion module for blocks of size M, with rejection of M/2 samples of the ends of the block obtained, which supplies a complex output signal s.sub.s (n),
