In the case of a two­-channel receiver, there exits two crosstalk. paths which allow the desired signal to become present in the reference of the interference, thus traditional adaptive noise cancellation is ineffective. The two-channel receiver is similar to two-microphone systems used for speech enhancement. Models describing the baseband and passband crosstalk are developed. The Crosstalk Resistant Adaptive Noise Canceller (CTRANC). designed to work in the two-microphone case, fails when confronted with the two-channel receiver. A new system is proposed which uses a priori knowledge of the crosstalk gained by the injection of a known signal into the input of the receiver. This injection systems is then compared with the CTRANC for both baseband and passband systems by extensive computer simulation.61 pagesAvailable to the World Wide WebAdaptive cancellation of adjacent channel interferenceThesis
