Abstract: A fast settling, wide dynamic range vector modulator for use in an interference cancellation system or the like includes a quadrature hybrid which receives an RF signal and divides the signal into a primary in-phase component signal and a primary quadrature phase component signal. A first 180.degree. hybrid receives the primary in-phase component signal and provides first and second secondary in-phase component signals which are 180.degree. out of phase with each other. A second 180.degree. hybrid receives the primary quadrature phase component signal and provides first and second secondary quadrature phase component signals which are 180.degree. out of phase with each other. A first switching device selects one of the first and second secondary in-phase component signals, and a second switching device selects one of the first and second secondary quadrature phase component signals.

Abstract: A DC offset compensation circuit for use with a detector of an interference cancellation system or the like includes an RF switch. The interference cancellation system has a reference signal path on which a reference signal representative of an interfering signal is provided to the detector, and an error signal path on which an error signal representative of a received signal of a radio receiver system to which the interference cancellation system is connected is provided to the detector. The RF switch is positioned in the error signal path of the interference cancellation system and is switchable between an open position in which the detector is disconnected from the error signal path, and a closed position in which the detector is connected to the error signal path. A switch controller is coupled to the RF switch, and controls the positioning of the RF switch in the open and closed positions. The detector provides a first DC signal when the RF switch is in the open position.
