  • Publication number: 20230344614
    Abstract: A communication circuit arrangement includes a signal path circuit to estimate, using a first kernel dimension filter and a first delay tap dimension filter, a first interference signal produced by a first amplifier. The signal path circuit further estimates, using a second kernel dimension filter and a second delay tap dimension filter, a second interference signal produced by a second amplifier. A cancellation circuit of the communication circuit arrangement may subtract a combination of the first interference signal and the second interference signal from a received signal to obtain a filtered signal, and one or more filter adaptation circuits may alternate between a kernel update phase and a delay update phase to update the first kernel dimension filter and the second kernel dimension filter during the kernel update phase, and update the first delay tap dimension filter and the second delay tap dimension filter during the delay update phase.
