Universal Notch Filter
Systems, methods, and computer program product embodiments are disclosed for removing any fixed frequency interfering signal from an input signal without introducing artifacts that are not part of the original signal of interest. An embodiment operates by using a virtual buffer with a length that matches a length of one cycle of an interfering signal. The embodiment extracts the interfering signal into the virtual buffer. For a sample in the next cycle of the interfering signal that corresponds to a virtual memory location for the virtual buffer, the embodiment can update one or more physical memory locations of the virtual buffer that are in the vicinity of the virtual memory location. This use of virtual buffer can remove any interfering signal without creating the artifacts associated with conventional notch filters.
Self interference noise cancellation to support multiple frequency bands
Examples described herein include systems and methods which include wireless devices and systems with examples of full duplex compensation with a self-interference noise calculator that compensates for the self-interference noise generated by power amplifiers at harmonic frequencies of a respective wireless receiver. The self-interference noise calculator may be coupled to antennas of a wireless device and configured to generate the adjusted signals that compensate self-interference. The self-interference noise calculator may include a network of processing elements configured to combine transmission signals into sets of intermediate results. Each set of intermediate results may be summed in the self-interference noise calculator to generate a corresponding adjusted signal. The adjusted signal is receivable by a corresponding wireless receiver to compensate for the self-interference noise generated by a wireless transmitter transmitting on the same or different frequency band as the wireless receiver is receiving.
