A method of suppressing interference from remote transmitters operating to a first standard having frequencies overlapping those for a
receiver operating to a second standard is provided. Such interference being increasingly common as a result of the deployment of multiple
wireless transceivers within electronic devices either supporting multiple international standards, such as WiFi and
WiMAX, or within typical
wireless environments. Advantageously, the invention presents a means of actively cancelling interference from transmitters operating within the same frequency range as defined by the standard. The
active cancellation accordingly allows
improved performance for systems with very low received
signal powers, such as GPS, in addition to
wireless data communications standards. An exemplary embodiment providing
active cancellation through delaying the portion of the received
signal according to the first standard adjusting both the amplitude and phase by means of
polar modulation prior to summing this
signal with the received signal to provide a receive signal within which the first standard signal is nulled. Control of the polar modulator being determined in the exemplary embodiment by minimizing received power after
passband limiting filters.
