Abstract:
1. A method for impulsive noise mitigation using an adaptive blanker based on a Binary Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) modulation system, the method comprising: estimating narrowband Middleton parameters of impulse noise from signals received for a fixed time period; calculating, by a controller, a threshold using the estimated narrowband Middleton parameters; operating, by an impulse noise processor, a first blanker to remove noise from a signal received at a given point of time through the comparison of an absolute value of the received signal and the threshold, when a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) value measured by an SNR meter is below the threshold; and operating, by the impulse noise processor, a second blanker to remove noise from the received signal through the comparison of the summation of the threshold and the SNR value with an absolute value of the received signal, when the SNR value is above the threshold.
