Apparatus for improving receiver sensitivity in a communication system
A method including capturing a signaling on a transmission path conveying a signal to be transmitted and on a reception path conveying a signal being received, setting model parameters related to a distortion effect on the basis of the captured signaling, the distortion effect being caused by the signal to be transmitted on the signal being received due to passive intermodulation between the transmission path and the reception path, generating a reference signal being related to a predetermined frequency spectrum part used by the signal being received by applying the model parameters on a captured signaling on the transmission path, and correcting the signal being received by using the generated reference signal.
1. An apparatus comprising:
a link to at least one transmission path for conveying a signal to be transmitted;
a link to at least one reception path for conveying a signal being received;
a data capturing unit configured to capture a signaling on a transmission path conveying a signal to be transmitted and on a reception path conveying a signal being received;
a reference signal generation unit configured to set model parameters related to a distortion effect on the basis of the captured signaling, the distortion effect being caused by the signal to be transmitted on the signal being received due to passive intermodulation between the transmission path and the reception path, and to generate a reference signal being related to a predetermined frequency spectrum part used by the signal being received by applying the model parameters on a captured signaling on the transmission path; and
a correction unit configured to correct the signal being received by using the generated reference signal.
