Abstract
Interference on a differential signal received at a first input to a digital data system processor is minimised or cancelled by summing a weighted portion of a local field signal with the differential signal. The local field signal may be a common-mode signal from the same line as the differential signal received at a second input. Weight may be a complex weight which shifts the local field signal in amplitude and phase. A weight control signal is derived from a comparison processor which compares the processed outputs of signal processors. Signal processors are preferably Discrete Multi-tone processors. Several iterations of this technique may be performed to establish an accurate weighting value.
