Transmission canceller for wireless local area network
First Claim
1. A method for canceling a leakage signal coupled from a transmitter to a receive signal path associated with a receiver, the transmitter and the receiver contained in a single wireless device operating using at least two frequency channels, the receiver operating on a first one of the at least two frequency channels and the transmitter operating on a second one of the at least two frequency channels, the method comprising:
- sampling a signal for transmission on the second of the at least two frequency channels;
adjusting one or more parameters associated with the sampled signal to form an adjusted signal; and
combining the adjusted signal with the receive signal path including the leakage signal, to form a combined signal so as to cancel the leakage signal.

Abstract
A frequency translating repeater (200) for use in a wireless local area network includes a cancellation unit. Canceller (402) is controlled by control (401) to provide an injection signal for canceling leakage in a receive signal path. Reference coupler (403) provides a reference signal from the transmit signal, injection coupler (404) injects a correction signal, and sample coupler (405) provides a sample for feedback. A processor (510) receives the sample signal through a detector (415). Although the present invention is intended for a frequency translating repeater, it has broad applications in radio transceivers in general. One specific application is with frequency division duplex (FDD) handsets or base stations utilizing CDMA technologies such as W-CDMA and IS-2000 or 1XEV-DV/DO.
