Abstract

See full text

A method used in the receiver of a communication system is provided to suppress narrow band interferences, known as ingress, that are present in the communication channel, which is shared by a plurality of transmitters each having a channel pre-equalizer, by means of a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) scheme or Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (SCDMA) scheme. The method comprises filtering the interferences using Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) notch filters, and providing IIR all-pass filters devised to compensate for substantially all phase distortions introduced by the notch filters. The method also includes an algorithm to detect the narrow band interferences and an adaptive equalizer to equalize the channel by computing the coefficients of the transmitters' pre-equalizers, and arranged such that the equalization of the channel is isolated from the suppression of the interferences.
