Patent attributes
A full duplex radio apparatus comprising: a transmit path configured to transmit a first signal; a receive path configured to receive a received signal; a near-receive path for observing a first period of the received signal; a far-receive path for observing a second period of the received signal, the far-receive path comprising a radio frequency limiter; a self-interference cancellation circuit coupled between the transmit path and the near receive path; a variable impedance component; and a directional coupler comprising a first port, a second port, a third port, and a fourth port, wherein: the first port is coupled to the receive path; the second port is coupled to the radio frequency limiter of the far-receive path; the third port is coupled to the self-interference cancellation circuit; and the fourth port is coupled to the variable impedance component.
