Reducing out-of-band emission

Abstract

Disclosed is a transmitter for a communication system. The transmitter comprises a sidelobe suppression module configured to apply a suppression matrix to an input vector comprising symbols to be transmitted by the transmitter; a modulation module configured to modulate the precoded vector to a time-domain symbol using a plurality of subcarriers, each symbol in the precoded vector having a corresponding subcarrier; and a digital-to-analog conversion module configured to convert the time-domain symbol to an analog waveform for transmission. The suppression matrix is constructed such that emissions at one or more predetermined suppression distances lying outside a frequency band defined by the subcarriers are set to zero according to a predetermined emission model.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
