Abstract

See full text

In one example, a communications circuit processes an amplitude modulated signal by using a first circuit having signal paths to process an amplitude modulated signal as represented by an in-phase component and by a quadrature component, and by using a second circuit to discern random noise pulses from the quadrature component of the amplitude modulated signal. In response, the second circuit generates an estimate of overall noise representing the random noise pulses in the amplitude modulated signal. In the above and more specific examples, the random noise pulses may appear as pulses which overlap with, in terms of time and bandwidth of frequency spectrum, information of the amplitude modulated signal, and the first and second circuits may be part of an RF radio receiving the amplitude modulated signal from an antenna.
