Wideband Adaptive Interference Cancellation in Spread-Spectrum Communication with Subband Bandwidth Design

Abstract

The bandwidth ratio increasing of spread spectrum (SS) communication limits the performance of wideband adaptive interference cancellation (WAIC) for strong wideband interference signal. To improve the interference cancellation radio (ICR), wideband interference signal is divided into subbands to reduce the computational bandwidth of the WAIC algorithm. In this paper, a method that fits the wideband interference signal by multi-tone signals is proposed to explicitly analyze the effect of the signal bandwidth on the cancellation system and quantitatively calculate the analytical solution of the ICR. Basing on the method proposed, the performance can be evaluated by the amplitude and phase difference between the received signals from the main antenna and the auxiliary antenna. Simulations and experiments are conducted to verify the theoretical analysis, and the results are consistent. Therefore, the analytical method proposed in this paper provides the design guidelines between the ICR requirement and subband bandwidth, which can reduce the complexity in the implementation of the WAIC system.
