Abstract
A circuit arrangement for adaptively suppressing interference signals includes a first local oscillator for generating a first local oscillator signal and a second local oscillator for generating a second local oscillator signal, each signal having an adjustable frequency. The circuit arrangement also includes a first mixer for converting a high-frequency signal into a corresponding intermediate frequency signal using the first local oscillator signal and a second mixer for converting the intermediate frequency signal into a corresponding baseband signal using the second local oscillator signal. The circuit arrangement also includes a notch filter with a rigidly defined blocking range. A control unit estimates the frequency of an interference signal contained in the intermediate frequency signal and to adjust the frequency of the local oscillator signals to the estimated frequency of the interference signal such that the frequency of the interference signal is converted into the blocking range of the notch filter.
