Abstract
With the growth of wireless data traffic, additional spectrum is required to meet consumer demands. Consequently, innovative approaches are needed for efficient management of the available limited spectrum. To double the achievable spectral efficiency, a transceiver can be designed to receive and transmit signals simultaneously (STAR) across the same frequency band. However, due to the coupling of the high power transmitted signal into the collocated receiver, the receiver's performance is degraded. For successful STAR realization, the coupled high-power transmit (Tx) signal should be suppressed by 100-120 dB over the entire operational bandwidth. So far, most STAR implementations are narrowband, and not useful for ultra wideband (UWB) communications. In this paper, we present a review of novel approaches employed to achieve improved cancellation across wide bandwidths in RF and propagation domains. Both single and multi-antenna systems are considered. Measurements show an average cancellation of 50 dB using two stages of RF signal cancellation.
