Abstract:
A full-duplex transceiver with passive inter-modulation (PIM) cancellation using feedforward plus a feedback filtering structure is presented. The transceiver comprises a duplexer, a transmitter, a receiver, a summer, and a behavioral model module (BMM) that is used to generate an estimated inter-modulated signal using a feedforward plus feedback structure. The summer receives a receive signal output from the receiver and an estimated compensation signal, and outputs a PIM compensated receive signal based on the difference between the receive signal output and the estimated compensation signal. Further, the BMM receives the multiband transmit signal input and the PIM compensated receive signal, and tunes the transceiver to output the PIM compensated receive signal. The BMM generates the estimated compensation signal from an align term, lag terms, lead terms, and feedback of the transmitted signals. The embodiments disclosed herein can be applicable to communication networks experiencing PIM distortion in a radio frequency chain.
