Cross-polarization crosstalk canceller

摘要

A cross-polarization crosstalk canceller is equipped to receive two polarized waves which are orthogonally crossing each other. The cross-polarization interference is eliminated by multiplying the signal received on one side by a compensating coefficient and adding the resulting product to the signal received on the other side. A discrimination error represents the difference between the reception signal after compensation and the identified value thereof. An adder and a subtractor supplies the sum and the difference between the real part and the imaginary part of the discrimination error. A discriminator detects equality between the absolute values of the real part and the imaginary part of the signal received on the interfering polarized wave side and supplies a control signal depending on the quadrant to which the signal belongs. A switch combines and varies a combination of the signs of the outputs of the adder and subtractor in response to the control signal supplied by the discriminator. A low-pass filter smooths the output of the switching in order to give the compensation coefficient.
