Transceivers operating in frequency division duplex experience a transmitter leakage (TxL) signal into the receiver due to the limited duplexer stop-band isolation. This TxL signal in combination with the second-order nonlinearity of the receive mixer may lead to a baseband (BB) second-order intermodulation distortion (IMD2) with twice the transmit signal bandwidth. In direct conversion receivers, this nonlinear IMD2 interference may cause a severe signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio degradation of the wanted receive signal. This contribution presents a nonlinear Wiener model recursive-least-squares (RLS) type adaptive filter for the cancellation of the IMD2 interference in the digital BB. The included channel-select-, and DC-notch filter at the output of the proposed adaptive filter ensure that the provided IMD2 replica includes the receiver front-end filtering. A second, robust version of the nonlinear RLS algorithm is derived which provides numerical stability for highly correlated input signals which arise in e.g. LTE-A intra-band multi-cluster transmission scenarios. The performance of the proposed algorithms is evaluated by numerical simulations and by measurement data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
