  • Patent number: 8614644
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide systems and methods for systems and methods for adaptively canceling interfering signals generated by a transmission antenna. Under one aspect, a system includes: an auxiliary antenna co-located with the main antenna, the auxiliary antenna configured to transmit an auxiliary signal to the victim antenna; a sensing antenna located on a line-of-sight path between the transmission antenna and the victim antenna, the sensing antenna configured to receive a composite of the interference and the auxiliary signal, and to output a first signal based on the received composite; a controller comprising an input coupled to the sensing antenna and configured to receive the first signal, the controller being configured to adjust at least one of an amplitude, a phase, a polarization, and a frequency characteristic of the auxiliary signal based on the first signal so as to reduce the composite of the interference and the auxiliary signal received by the sensing antenna.
