Interference canceller for use in a multibeam-antenna CDMA communication system

摘要

A multistage interference canceller equipment and interference canceller method for use, for example, in CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) multibeam-antenna communication system includes in each stage an interference canceller unit which has a replica signal generator which generates from an input beam signal a first interference replica signal and outputs a first error signal, and an interference removal unit which receives from another replica signal generator a second interference replica signal, multiplies that second interference replica signal by conversion coefficients and subtracts an obtained signal from the first interference replica signal to produce a second error signal so that an error signal is generated for each signal beam from the interference replica signals of a local signal beam and other signal beams to eliminate interference.
