A system for processing signals includes an interference cancellation component that samples an RF transmit signal, transforms the sampled RF transmit signal into a self-interference cancellation signal, and combines the sampled RF transmit signal and self-interference cancellation signal to remove a first portion of interference from the RF receive signal, the combination forming a processed RF signal; and a filtering component that removes a second portion of interference from the processed signal by downconverting the processed RF signal to a processed baseband signal, sampling the processed baseband signal to create a processed digital signal, and filtering the processed digital signal to remove the second portion of interference.

Systems and methods for full-duplex signal shaping

A system and method for non-linear digital self-interference cancellation including a pre-processor that generates a first pre-processed digital transmit signal from a digital transmit signal of a full-duplex radio, a non-linear transformer that transforms the first pre-processed digital transmit signal into a non-linear self-interference signal according to a transform configuration, a transform adaptor that sets the transform configuration of the non-linear transformer, and a post-processor that combines the non-linear self-interference signal with a digital receive signal of the full-duplex radio.

Systems and methods for non-linear digital self-interference cancellation

A method for pilot signal based self-interference cancellation tuning includes detecting a tuning trigger and in response to the tuning trigger, generating a pilot transmit signal according to the trigger data; and transmitting, at the transmitter, the pilot transmit signal; receiving, at the receiver, a pilot receive signal; cancelling, at the self-interference canceller, a portion of self-interference in the receive pilot signal, resulting in a composite pilot signal; analyzing the composite pilot signal; and tuning a configuration parameter of the self-interference canceller, based on analysis of the composite pilot signal, resulting in reduced self-interference in the composite pilot signal.

Method for pilot signal based self-inteference cancellation tuning

A circuit that cancels a self-interference signal includes, in part, a pair of signal paths that are substantially in phase, each of which paths includes a passive coupler, a delay element and a variable attenuator. The circuit further includes, in part, a first group of P signal paths each of which is substantially in phase with the pair of paths, a second group of M signal paths each of which is substantially out-of-phase relative to the pair of signal paths, and at least a pair of feedback paths. Each of the P and M signal paths, as well as the feedback paths includes a delay element and a variable attenuator. Optionally, each of the M signal paths is optionally 180&#xb0; out-of-phase relative to the pair of signal paths.

Signal cancellation using feedforward and feedback paths

A system and method for analog self-interference cancellation that includes receiving an RF transmit signal of a full-duplex radio; frequency downconverting the RF transmit signal to an IF transmit signal; transforming the IF transmit signal into an IF self-interference signal using an IF analog self-interference cancelling circuit; frequency upconverting the IF self-interference signal to an RF self-interference signal; and combining the RF self-interference signal with an RF receive signal of the full-duplex radio.

Systems and methods for frequency independent analog self-interference cancellation

A wireless communication device includes, in part, at least one antenna for receiving or transmitting a signal, and a cancelation circuit adapted to cancel or reduce the self-interference signal. The cancelation circuit includes, in part, a control block, N delay and attenuation paths, a combiner, and a subtractor. Each path includes a delay element and a variable attenuator whose attenuation level varies in response to a control signal generated by the control block. Each path receives a sample of the transmit signal and generates a delayed and attenuated (weighted) version of the sample signal. The combiner combines the N delayed and weighted versions of the sample signal to construct a signal representative of the self-interference signal. The subtractor subtracts the constructed signal from the received signal thereby the cancel or reduce the self-interference signal therefrom.

Systems and methods for cancelling interference using multiple attenuation delays

The current subject matter relates to a system and a method for processing signals. The system can include a transmitting antenna for transmitting a signal over a plurality of wireless spectrum fragments, a receiving antenna for receiving a signal from the plurality of wireless spectrum fragments, and a signal processing layer in communication with the transmitting and receiving antennas for simultaneously causing reception of the received signal and transmission of the transmitted signal. The signal processing layer can include an interference cancellation component for removing a first portion of interference from the received signal and a filtering component for removing a second portion of the interference from the received signal.
