Impact of wideband interference coupling path dispersion on performance of radio-frequency interference adaptive cancellation system

As the interference bandwidth increases, the impact of interference coupling path dispersion on the cancellation performance can no longer be ignored in open space. Especially for the radio frequency interference adaptive cancellation system (RFIACS), the impact will be more serious. In response to this problem, this study establishes the time-domain model of a wideband RFIACS considering interference coupling path dispersion characteristics, and analyses the stability, convergence speed, interference cancellation ratio (ICR), and cancellation bandwidth of RFIACS considering dispersion characteristics. And the authors define the speed factor to characterise the convergence speed. The analysis shows that the dispersion of the interference coupling path will not affect the stability of the system, but will reduce the convergence speed and ICR. The larger the interference coupling path dispersion, the lower the convergence speed, and the larger the cancellation bandwidth, the lower the ICR. The experimental results verify the theoretical analysis.
