Abstract

A tactical radio includes a radio frequency (RF) processing module having a receiving component path and a transmitting component path. A signal processing module coupled to the RF processing module includes a jammer detection stage for identifying a type of jamming signal on a channel over which communications signals are received simultaneously. A jammer model stage in the signal processing module produces a waveform model for the jamming signal, and a channel model stage replicates propagation conditions on the channel and produces a corresponding cancellation signal. The cancellation signal is coupled at such a level into the receiving component path so as to cancel the jamming signal from received communications signals at the front end of the radio. Any residual jamming signals may then be removed by a secondary jamming cancellation stage operating at baseband.
