Spread spectrum adaptive antenna interference canceller
First Claim
1. An adaptive power equilizer means for use in a spread spectrum signal receiver system which includes at least two antenna means, each of which receives at least two incoming signals from unknown directions, one of said incoming signals having a higher power level than the other, and receiver means, said adaptive power equalizer means comprisingadaptive means responsive to said incoming antenna signals for producing a first signal in which the signal having the higher power level has been effectively cancelled and for producing a second signal;
- power equalizer means responsive to said first and second signals for causing the power levels of said first and second signals to be substantially equal; and
means for combining said substantially equalized power level signals for providing an output receiver signal for use by said receiver means.

Abstract
An adaptive power equalizer circuit for use in a spread spectrum receiver system which includes an antenna system 12, 13 and a receiver 11, the circuit comprising adaptive power inversion circuitry 15 for producing a first signal having a minimized power level and a second signal having a substantially higher power level than that of the first signal. Such signals are supplied to a power equalizer circuitry 16 which equalizes the power levels thereof, such equalized power level signals then being combined in a suitable combiner circuit 30 for producing an output receiver output signal for the receiver 11.
