Abstract: Interference canceling is provided for canceling, from a target signal generated from a target source, an interference signal generated by an interference source. The beam splitter beam-splits the target signal into a plurality of band-limited target signals band-limited frequency bands and beam-splits the interference signal into corresponding band-limited frequency bands. The adaptive filter adaptively filters each band-limited interference signal from each corresponding band-limited target signal. The inhibitor can permit the adaptive filter to adapt or change coefficients when a signal-to-noise ratio of the reference signal exceeds a predetermined threshold, to be determined periodically, over a signal-to-noise ratio of the main signal. The beam selector selects at least one of a plurality of beams for adaptive filtering by the adaptive filter representing a direction from which the main signal is received.
