Abstract:
A method for reducing interference in the transmission of an electrical communication signal (x(k)), characterized by the following steps:a communication signal, which is received as a faulty function (x(k)), is simultaneously fed to at least one memory (1) and to a plurality of detectors (21 . . . 2n),the communication signal (x(k)) is stored in the memory (1) and analyzed in the plurality of detectors (21 . . . 2n) with regard to interference signal characteristics, each of the plurality of detectors being set to detect a particular interference type,an interference signal of said particular interference type is recognized by each detector (21 . . . 2n) and then a corresponding time range in which each interference signal occurred is established by a particular circuit block (31 . . . 3n) allocated to each of the plurality of detectors,the stored communication signal (x(k)) is read out from the memory (1) and in the time range of the interference signal an interference suppression method is selected and implemented dependent on the particular interference type of interference signal detected by each of the plurality of detectors, wherein the interference signal and the particular interference type recognized are processed so that an interference-free communication signal (y(k+t)) is achieved.
