Analog signal path modeling for self-interference cancellation
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- operating a processor to apply a digital representation of a currently transmitted signal to a model to generate a self-interference compensation signal, the model comprising a representation of at least analog circuitry of a transmitter and analog circuitry of a receiver; and
operating the processor to compensate in the digital domain a signal that is received simultaneously with the currently transmitted signal using the generated self-interference compensation signal.

Abstract
Described herein is a device that includes at least one radio frequency transmitter; at least one radio frequency receiver; a copy block configurable to output a digital representation of a currently transmitted signal and a model having a representation of at least analog circuitry of the at least one radio frequency transmitter and analog circuitry of the at least one radio frequency receiver, as well as possibly one or more antennas. The model generates, in response to the digital representation of the currently transmitted signal, a self-interference compensation signal to compensate, in the digital domain, a signal that is received simultaneously with the currently transmitted signal. Also described are corresponding apparatus, methods, computer program instructions stored in a memory medium, and an integrated circuit embodiment.
