Abstract:
The present disclosure is directed to an apparatus and method for cancelling self-interference caused by full-duplex communication. In a full-duplex communication device, the receiver will generally experience significant self-interference from the full-duplex communication device's own transmitter transmitting a strong outbound signal over the same channel that the receiver is to receive a weak inbound signal. The apparatus and method are configured to adjust a phase and gain of the outbound signal provided at the output of a power amplifier (PA) and inject the phase and gain adjusted outbound signal at the input of a low-noise amplifier (LNA) to cancel the interference from the outbound signal in the inbound signal.
