Cancellation is a process by which an interfering source (the “jammer”) is removed from a mixture of sounds on the basis of its structure. This is part of the task of “scene analysis” that confronts natural organisms and artificial devices. Jammer cancellation is distinct from, and complementary to, target enhancement. Time-domain cancellation filters are distinct from, and complementary to, ti...

This is part of the task of “scene analysis” that confronts natural organisms and artificial devices. Jammer cancellation is distinct from, and complementary to, target enhancement.

A letter cancellation task revealed neglect of the lower left quadrant when cancellation began at the top, but of the upper left quadrant when it began in the bottom. When the cancellation was done line by line through a "window" which covered all but the line currently worked on, the quadrant effects disappeared, so that fatigue could not explain these effects. An alternative hypothesis is tha...

We demonstrate dispersion cancellation of entangled photons for arbitrary spectral orders, generalizing Franson cancellation typically considered in second order alone. Employing ultrafast coincidence detection based on sum-frequency generation in a periodically poled lithium niobate waveguide with a record-high pair conversion efficiency of 10(-5), we verify cancellation of dispersion up to fi...

Visual neglect is a relatively common deficit after brain damage, particularly strokes. Cancellation tests provide standard clinical measures of neglect severity and deficits in daily life. A recent single-case study introduced a new variation on standard cancellation. Instead of making a visible mark on each target found, the patient made invisible marks (recorded with carbon paper underneath,...

This paper proposes an active radio frequency (RF) cancellation solution to suppress the transmitter (TX) passband leakage signal in radio transceivers supporting simultaneous transmission and reception. The proposed technique is based on creating an opposite-phase baseband equivalent replica of the TX leakage signal in the transceiver digital front-end through adaptive nonlinear filtering of t...

Task parallelism is ubiquitous in modern applications for event-based, distributed, or reactive systems. In this type of programming, the ability to cancel a running task arises as a critical feature. Although there are a variety of cancellation techniques, a comprehensive account of their characteristics is missing. This paper provides a classification of task cancellation patterns, as well as...

When using electrical-balance duplexers (EBDs) to provide RF self-interference cancellation for in-band full-duplex, in-band distortion produced by nonlinear CMOS switches in the duplexer cause distortion that limits the headroom for additional self-interference cancellation in subsequent cancellation schemes in the transceiver. A prototype EBD is fabricated in 0.18μm SOI CMOS to investigate th...

In broadband DS-CDMA uplink transmission using frequency-domain equalization (FDE) without cyclic prefix (CP) insertion, the transmission performance degrades due to inter block interference (IBI) and circular property loss. In this paper, IBI cancellation and circular property loss restoration is proposed and the performance improvement is evaluated by computer simulation. It is shown that ite...

Adaptive duplexing eliminates the need for multiple switched duplexers in multiband systems. The technique is based on combining a low isolation device and an active double loop cancelling scheme. A duplexer provides attenuation to the main Tx signals entering the receiver and Tx noise corrupting the receiver band. The solution is tested on a direct conversion receiver and uses an adaptive oned...
