Interference cancellation in an aircraft in communication with a satellite

摘要

An interference monitoring antenna (16) is mounted to an aircraft and used to obtain a description of interference which is likely to affect transmissions from the communications antenna (14) of an aeronautical terminal (AT) on the aircraft via a satellite telecommunications system. Uplink interference cancellation for transmissions from the communications antenna is performed by pre-compensating the transmissions or by transmitting a description of the measured interference to a ground station. <IMAGE>
