Embodiments of the present disclosure utilizes the natural properties of RFI noise on a wireline link. Since differential RFI noise in the system has some correlation with the common mode noise on the cable, a replica of RFI noise can be regenerated by an adaptive filter based on information about the common mode noise. The replica RFI is subtracted from the equalizer output prior to the data decision circuitry or slicer. In this method, the system does not require expensive cable, nor does the equalizer suffer additional loss due to an RFI notch filter. Since RFI can be detected and mitigated, this information can also be coupled to safety systems to increase functional safety under high EMI conditions.

Disclosed is a method and apparatus for reducing outbound interference in a broadband powerline communication system. Data is modulated on first and second carrier frequencies and is transmitted via respective first and second lines of the powerline system. A characteristic of at least one of the carrier signals (e.g., phase or amplitude) is adjusted in order to improve the electrical balance of the lines of the transmission system. This improvement in electrical balance reduces the radiated interference of the powerline system. Also disclosed is the use of a line balancing element on or more lines of the powerline system for altering the characteristics of at least one of the power lines in order to compensate for a known imbalance of the transmission system.
