Abstract
Methods and systems for processing a signal with a corresponding noise profile are disclosed. Aspects of the method may comprise analyzing spectral content of the noise profile. At least one noise harmonic within the signal may be filtered based on said analyzed spectral content. The filtered signal may be limited. The noise profile may comprise a phase noise profile. The signal may comprise at least one of a sinusoidal signal and a noise signal. At least one filter coefficient that is used to filter said at least one noise harmonic may be determined. The filtering may comprise low pass filtering and the limiting may comprise hard-limiting the filtered signal. The signal may be modulated prior to the filtering. The signal may be downconverted prior to the modulating. At least one signal component of the signal may be downconverted.
