Abstract

A system for reducing internal interference in a radio-frequency (RF) receiver includes providing a plurality of time slots within a frame where the receiver is configured to receive external RF signals during a receive time slot within the frame. Data is collected during a receive time slot of a frame, and a receive data value is calculated corresponding to the collected data. A predetermined portion of the data collected is inspected, and a bias data value is calculated. The bias value is attributable to interference signals caused by the internal interference. The bias data value is added to an accumulator, and over time, a running average of the bias data values is determined. A portion of the running average is subtracted from the sample stream of data to provide output data corresponding to the external RF signals absent the internal interference.
