Abstract
A receiver or receiver system for high speed data communications having a radio frequency noise canceller is disclosed. The radio frequency noise canceller removes radio-frequency noise from received signals over a transmission medium by adaptively estimating the radio-frequency noise during data transmission. In one embodiment, the radio frequency noise canceller includes: an adaptive filter for producing a noise cancellation signal by filtering a reference noise signal based on filter parameters, a subtractor for subtracting the noise cancellation signal from the first signal to produce the second signal; and an update circuit for enabling, at predetermined times, modification of the parameters of the adaptive filter based on the then existing second signal. A method for removing radio frequency noise is also disclosed.
