Popis: This paper deals with the implementation of a Nonlinear Interference Suppressor (NIS) into a wireless LTE transceiver. This within the context of high energy efficient multi-standard transceivers controlled by a cognitive radio platform. In multimode transceivers, the transmitter for one communication standard may induce a large interferer in the receiver for another standard. To linearly suppress this interferer, which can be several orders of magnitude larger than the desired received signal, the receiver should have a very large linear dynamic range, resulting in excessive power consumption. For this reason, we consider the NIS, a closed-loop tuning method that exploits the locally available interference as side information. The wireless LTE transceiver model, includes all the baseband signal treatment blocks and the RF front-end of a low IF direct conversion receiver architecture. A mobile WiMAX signal is considered as the interference signal at the receiver. The obtained symbol error rate (SER) is observed for different system configurations. Matlab simulation results in this practical scenario show that the NIS can strongly suppress the interferer while a symbol error rate performance close to that of an exactly linear receiver is achieved. This results permit to identify perspective directions for the better multi-standard and high energy efficient transceivers implementation.
