1. An interference cancellation circuit comprising:
- two receiver circuits which each respectively receive a signal, each received signal including a main signal component and an interference signal component;
a first adjustment means for adjusting a relative amplitude and phase of the received signals from respective outputs of the two receiver circuits;
a first combining means which combines adjusted received signals which have been adjusted in amplitude and phase by the first adjusting means;
first control means for controlling said first adjusting means in a manner to make the interference signal component contained in the output from the first combining means larger than the main signal component;
a second adjusting means for adjusting amplitude and phase of outputs of said first combining means;
a second combining means for combining outputs from the second adjusting means with at least one of said received signals; and
a second control means for controlling said second adjusting means in a manner to minimize the interference signal component in the output from said second combining means.

Abstract
An interference cancellation circuit which can remove the interference signal caused by other systems and contained in received signals. The interference signal can be cancelled even if the interference signal is not directly obtained or plural interference signals exist, or the interference signal is a wide band signal or raster interference simply by receiving two signals which have passed through different transmission paths, combining the main signals contained in each of the received signals in a manner to offset each other to the extract interference signal, and removing the interference signal component from the received signal based on the expected interference signal.

16. An interference cancellation circuit comprising:
-
two receiver circuits which each respectively receive a signal including a main signal component and an interference signal component; a first adjusting means which adjusts relative amplitude and phase of the received signals at outputs of the two receiver circuits; a first combining means for combining the two received signals which have been amplitude and phase adjusted by the first adjusting means; a first control means for controlling said adjustment by said first adjusting means to make the interference signal component included within the output from the first combining means higher in level than the main signal component; third adjusting means for adjusting the relative amplitude and phase of the received signals obtained in the outputs of said two receiver circuits and which is provided separately from said first adjusting means; third combining means for combining the two received signals after they have been adjusted in amplitude and phase by the third adjusting means; and third control means which controls said third adjusting means to minimize the interference signal component included within the output from the third combining means.
