A method for reciprocal-mixing noise cancellation may include receiving, from a first mixer, a first signal comprising a wanted signal at a first frequency and a modulated signal at a second frequency. The modulated signal may be a product of a reciprocal-mixing of an unwanted signal with a phase noise. The second frequency may be greater than the first frequency, and at least a portion of the modulated signal may overlap the wanted signal, adding a reciprocal-mixing noise to the wanted signal. Using the first signal, a narrow second signal may be generated at a third frequency, twice the second frequency. At a second mixer, the second signal may be mixed with the first signal to generate a third signal. The third signal may be subtracted from the first signal to remove a reciprocal-mixing noise and to generate the wanted signal at the first frequency without the reciprocal-mixing noise. |
