Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INCREASING THE INTERFERENCE IMMUNITY OF RECEIVER
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2009038809
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a method and apparatus for increasing the interference immunity of a receiver.

When a signal is received, its electric power level is detected. When the level is equal to or greater than a prescribed power threshold value, a bypass path provided for the low-noise amplifier 115 increases the intercept point of receiver components. An alternative embodiment uses an RF power detector 105 to control the front-end gain as a function of the interfering power. It is possible to suppress the interference and control the receiver sensitivity to a low signal level by continuously controlling the gain. The processing unit of the receiver measures the gain change of the IF signal power. If the gain change is smaller than the prescribed value, the processing unit increases the gain since the CDMA signal and interfering power are below the lowest noise value. When the IF signal power change is greater than a prescribed value, an interference apparently exists. The processing unit reduces the gain and makes the intermodulation product smaller. This continues until the receiver operates at the best compromise of interference and a noise index.
