  • Interference-canceling RF receiver circuit, corresponding system, radar sensor system, vehicle and method
    Patent number: 11442142
    Abstract: An input receives a radio frequency (RF) signal having an interfering component superimposed thereon. The RF signal is mixed with a local oscillator (LO) signal and down-converted to an intermediate frequency (IF) to generate a mixed signal which includes a frequency down-converted interfering component. The mixed signal is amplified by an amplifier to generate an output signal. A feedback loop processes the output signal to generate a correction signal for cancelling the frequency down-converted interfering component at the input of the amplifier. The feedback loop includes a low-pass filter and a amplification circuit which outputs the correction signal.
