Abstract: A receiver receives radio frequency (RF) energy including a desired signal and interference including high-level narrowband interference and low-level wideband interference. A first stage canceler cancels the high-level narrowband interference from the received RF energy based on a first correction signal representative of the interference, to produce a first canceler output signal. A second stage canceler frequency down-converts to baseband, and filters the high-level narrowband interference from, a sample of the first correction signal, to produce a second correction signal including the low-level wideband interference frequency down-converted to baseband. A digital canceler digitally cancels the low-level wideband interference from the first canceler output signal based on the second correction signal, to recover the desired signal.

Abstract: A hybrid ring useful in the microwave and millimeter wave regions as a mixer for producing an IF output signal in response to applied LO and RF input signals. The ring is designed to exhibit a narrow bandwidth at the LO signal port and a moderately broad bandwidth at the RF signal port.
