Full duplex radio with adaptive reception power reduction
First Claim
1. A full duplex radio, comprising a transmitter, an antenna, a receiver, a circulator, and a power reducer,wherein the transmitter is adapted to generate a first signal,wherein the circulator is adapted to provide the first signal from the transmitter to the antenna,wherein the antenna is adapted to transmit the first signal and simultaneously receive a second signal using an identical frequency or frequency band,wherein the circulator is adapted to provide a third signal to the power reducer, wherein the third signal comprises the second signal and interference generated from the first signal by the antenna and the circulator,wherein the power reducer is adapted to reduce the power of the third signal by multiplying the third signal with a factor of √
- ρ
, wherein ρ
is between 0 and 1, thereby generating a fourth signal, andwherein the receiver is adapted to receive the fourth signal.

Abstract
A full duplex radio unit comprising a transmission unit, an antenna, a reception unit, a circulator and a power reduction unit is provided. The transmission unit is adapted to generate a first signal. The circulator is adapted to provide the first signal from the transmission unit to the antenna. The antenna is adapted to transmit the first signal and simultaneously receive a second signal using an identical frequency or frequency band. The circulator is adapted to provide a third signal to the power reduction unit, wherein the third signal comprises the second signal and interference generated from the first signal by the antenna and the circulator. The power reduction unit is adapted to reduce the power of the third signal by multiplying the third signal by factor of √ρ, wherein ρ is between zero and one, thereby generating a fourth signal.

10. A full duplex radio transmission and reception method, comprising:
-
generating a first signal by a transmitter, providing the first signal to an antenna by a circulator, transmitting the first signal by the antenna, simultaneously receiving a second signal using an identical frequency or frequency band as the first signal by the antenna, providing a third signal by the circulator, wherein the third signal comprises the second signal and interference generated from the first signal by the antenna and the circulator, reducing the power of the third signal by multiplying the third signal with a factor of √
ρ
, wherein ρ
is between 0 and 1, by a power reducer, thereby generating a fourth signal, andreceiving the fourth signal by a receiver. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
