The present disclosure relates to compensation for Passive Intermodulation (PIM) distortion in a receiver. In one embodiment, a main receiver receives a radio frequency receive signal and outputs a main receiver output signal. In order to compensate for PIM distortion, a tunable non-linear circuit generates an Intermodulation Products (IMP) signal that includes a number of IMPs as a function of a signal that is indicative of the radio frequency transmit signal. An auxiliary receiver receives the IMP signal and outputs an auxiliary receiver output signal that includes only a subset of the IMPs that fall within a passband of the main receiver. The auxiliary receiver output signal is adaptively filtered to provide a PIM estimate signal, which is then subtracted from the main receiver output signal to provide a compensated output signal. |
