This invention uses one or more cancellation modules to eliminate the transmitter leakage at the output of the receive antenna and prior the receiver circuitry so that the received signals can be analyzed without degradation in quality due to simultaneous operation of the transmitter and receiver. Each cancellation circuit could be limited to only 30-50 dB of rejection due to component mismatches and other circuit non-idealities. To obtain further cancellation, more than one cancellation circuit can be applied after the first low noise amplifier. The output of the low noise amplifier can be repeatedly mixed with additional cancellation signals "n" number of times such that the "n" low noise amplifier is mixed with the "nth" cancellation signal. For each additional cancellation signal added a 20-30 dB reduction in noise may be achieved such that cascading three or four cancellation signals from cancellation modules may produce a 150 dB gain. |
