摘要:
A receive front-end useful for receiving a communication signal includes a bandpass filter having a high selectivity for selecting a passband of the communication signal, an equalizer to compensate for group delay variance introduced by the high selectivity of the bandpass filter, and a low noise amplifier protected by the bandpass filter from signals outside the passband and coupled to the equalizer to establish noise figure for the receive front-end. The filter may be self-equalizing to provide all or a portion of the requisit delay compensation, and both the filter and the equalizer may include high-temperature superconducting components.
摘要:
A method and device which dynamically detects, tracks and filters interfering signals with sufficient speed (i.e. within one IS-95 CDMA data frame period, or 20ms) and fidelity to eliminate or greatly reduce the deleterious effects of narrow band interferor signals on a CDMA link. When inserted in an RF signal path an Adaptive Notch Filter (ANF) detects narrow band interferors above a threshold level within the CDMA signal. Detection is accomplished by continuous scanning of a preset excision band, e.g. a specified narrow band associated with an AMPS system. Detected interferors are then automatically acquired and suppressed. This is achieved by electronically placing a rejection notch at the frequency of the interferors. Multiple notch filters may be used to simultaneously suppress multiple interferors. In the absence of interferors a bypass mode is selected allowing the RF signal to bypass the notch. Upon detection of an interferor, a switch is made to a suppression mode where the interferor is steered through a first notch section and suppressed. Alternatively, an external control line may be used to select the bypass mode so that the signal is allowed to pass the notch section, regardless of interferor content.
摘要:
A system and method provides adaptive digital front end control of an incoming radio frequency (RF) signal to identify RF characteristics in that signal, such as interference or desired data signals and adaptively control digital filter elements to selectively tune only portions of the RF signal to produce a filtered output signal, on a per cycle basis, prior to communicating the RF signal to an underlying wireless communication device, such as a base station in cellular network, cellular phone, wireless router base station, cognitive radio, or other wireless communication device. Each digital filter element may be tuned in frequency and bandwidth of operation and collectively the elements form an adaptive filter stage with elements configurable into both bandpass and bandstop filters for cascaded operation.

A multiple carrier adaptive notch filter (ANF) module selectively filters a received wideband communication signal To determine the presence of narrowband interference, the multiple carrier ANF module scans various known narrowband channels that lie within the frequency spectrum of the wideband communication signal and determines signal strengths for each of the narrowband channels. The signal strengths from the narrowband channels are compared to a threshold that is derived from a statistical combination of the narrowband signal strengths. Narrowband channels having signal strengths that are greater than the threshold are determined to have interference.
摘要:
A system and/or a method for detecting interference using correlation may be used in a communication system to protect against, or to report the presence of, narrowband interference, which has deleterious effects on the performance of the wideband communication system. The interference detection system described herein may be used to determine presence of narrowband interference by calculating correlation factors for a plurality of narrowband channels disposed within the wideband communication system and comparing the correlation factors with a threshold correlation factor.
