A coupled interference cancellation system (CICS) for canceling retransmission-antenna-to-receiving-antenna (coupled) interference signals. The system is connected to a bidirectional, over-the-air repeater for a wideband digital cellular communication system. For each repeater direction. The CICS injects one or more modulated pilot signals at the retransmission antenna input which are emitted along with the communications signal. The portion of the repeater output signal that is coupled to the receiving antenna is indicated by the properties of the pilot signals that are detected at the repeater's receiving antenna. The detected quadrature components of the pilot signals are used to generate a cancellation signal by vector modulation and delay of a sample of the retransmission antenna input. The cancellation signal is applied at the receiving antenna output to subtract the coupled interference. |
