Abstract
The present invention discloses a narrow band interference detector for a receiver of a communication system. The narrow band interference detector includes a numerically-controlled oscillator (NCO), for generating an oscillating signal according to a time-variable frequency; a mixer, for mixing an input signal with the oscillating signal, to generate a mixed signal; a phase lock loop (PLL), for locking the mixed signal during a detection period according to the time-variable frequency; a first switch, for controlling a connection between the NCO and the PLL according to a desirable narrow band interference signal type of the at least one narrow band interference signal; and a narrow band determination unit, for determining at least one narrow band interference signal according to a low frequency component of the mixed signal, the time-variable frequency and the desirable narrow band interference signal type of the at least one narrow band interference signal.
