Interference cancellation circuit

Abstract: This invention relates to an interference cancellation circuit which can remove the interference signal caused by other systems and contained in received signals. This invention circuit can cancel interference signal even if the interference signal is not directly obtained or plural interference signals exist, or the interference signal is wideband signal or raster interference simply by receiving two signals which have passed through different transmission paths, combining the main signals contained in each of the received signals in a manner to offset each other to extract interference signal, and removing interference signal component from the received signal based on the expected interference signal.

Description: [Technical Field] This invention is applicable to transmission of digital or analogue signals. This invention relates, in particular, to an interference cancellation circuit which eliminates interference signals from other transmission systems. [Background of the Invention] FIG. 1 is a block diagram to show the first prior art interference cancellation circuit. This is equivalent to the circuit disclosed in European Patent Application No. 0 228 786. The signal (described herein as a digital signal ) received by a main antenna 1 of a main signal receiver system includes an interference signal from other transmission systems such as the system of other transmission method. The received signal is supplied to a frequency converter 3 via a band-pass filter 2 to be converted to an intermediate frequency (IF) band. The signal which may cause interference is received by an auxiliary antenna 4 directed to the interference source. The signal received by the auxiliary antenna 4 is passed to a bandpass filter 5 for signal-to-noise ratio improvement and converted to the intermediate frequency band by a converter 6 with the local oscillation signal which is common with the main signal side and is fed from a local oscillator 7. The obtained interference signal is adjusted in phase and amplitude by a variable phase shifter 8 and a variable attenuator 10 to produce cancellation signal which are opposite in phase to and the same in amplitude with the interference signal component mixed in the main signal . By adding the cancellation signal by an combiner 11, the interference signal component mixed in the main signal can be cancelled. In order to control the variable phase shifter 8 and the variable attenuator 10, error signals and interference signals are obtained for the in-phase and the quadrature phase components. In order to detect the in-phase and the quadrature phase components of the interference signal component remaining in the main signal even after it is added with cancellation signal by the combiner 11, the output from the combiner 11 is fed into a demodulator 12. A coherent quadrature phase detector comprising a 90 degree phase shifter 14 and two phase detectors 15, 16 is provided within the demodulator 12. The coherent quadrature phase detector detects the output from the combiner 11 by means of the local frequency 13 reproduced from the signal received on the main signal side and divides them into the in-phase component and the quadrature phase component, which in turn are supplied to error signal detectors 19, 20 via low-pass filters 17, 18. The error signal detectors 19, 20 detect the remaining interference signal component and generate error signals respectively of the in-phase and the quadrature phase components. Meanwhile, the interference signal which have passed through the variable phase shifter 8 are divided into two by a signal divider 9, one of which is outputted to the variable attenuator 10 and the other to the coherent quadrature phase detector comprising a 90 degree phase shifter 26 and phase detectors 27, 28. The coherent phase detector divides the interference signal into the in-phase component and the quadrature phase component by means of the local frequency 13 reproduced by the demodulator 12 on the main signal side. Thus divided interference signals are supplied into decision circuits 31, 32 via low-pass filters 29, 30. The decision circuits 31, 32 binarize respectively the interference signals by using timing signal obtained at the demodulator 12 for the main signal . As description is being made taking an example of digital processing, it becomes necesssary to use decision circuits 31, 32 for binarization. They are not necessary in the case of analog processing. When the outputs from the error signal detectors 19, 20 are in the form of digital signals, an analog/digital converter may be used. In such a case, if the main signal is one of 16QAM, demodulated signal become quarternary, and it is sampled by an analog/digital converter having the output of three bits or more. The table below shows the digital output therefrom. The digital output shows the result of decision in the most and next significant bits and the direction of error in the third bit. Therefore, the output in the third bit is used as an error signal. The most significant bit is used as a polarity signal. Correlation between thus obtained error signals and the interference signals in their in-phase and quadrature phase components are then obtained. More specifically, exclusive ORs are obtained between their quadrature phase components and between in-phase components by exclusive OR circuits 34, 35, and their outputs are supplied to an integrator 43 via resistors 38, 39 and the output from the integrator 43 is used as a control signal for the variable attenuator 10. The exclusive ORs between the in-phase components and the quadrature phase components are obtained by the exclusive OR circuits 36, 37 and their outputs are supplied to an integrator 42 via resistors 40, 41 and the output from the integrator 42 is used as a control signal for the variable phase shifter 8. FIG. 2 is a block diagram to show the second prior art device, the circuit of which is equivalent to the circuit disclosed in European Patent Application No. 0 228 786 wherein the variable phase shifter 8 and the variable attenuator 10 in the first prior art circuit are replaced with a quadrature amplitude modulator 51. The quadrature amplitude modulator 51 comprises a signal divider 52 which divides a signalinto two paths, a phase shifter 53 which shifts the phase of one of the divided signals by 90 degree, a bipolar attenuator 54 which receives as input the signal passing through the phase shifter 53, a bipolar attenuator 55 which receives as input the other output signals from the divider 52, and a combiner 56 which adds the outputs from the two bipolar attenuators 54, 55. The quadrature amplitude modulator 51 is fed with the interference signals which are received on the side of the auxiliary antenna 4 and divided by a signal divider 50. The method of controlling the two bipolar attenuators 54, 55 will be explained below. The signal combined by the combiner 11 is inputted at the demodulator 12. In the demodulator 12, the input signal is detected in quadrature phase by phase detectors 15, 16 by means of the local frequency 13 reproduced from the signals received by the main signal side. The detector outputs are passed through the low-pass filters 17, 18 to be taken out as a baseband signal of the in-phase and the quadrature phase components. These base-band signals are supplied into the error signal detectors 19, 20 to detect remaining interference signal components. Meanwhile, the interference signal converted into the IF band is detected in quadrature phase by phase detectors 27, 28, and each signal is passed to decision circuits 31, 32 via low-pass filters 29, 30. The decision circuits 31, 32 binarize respective input signals by using clock signal 44 obtained by a demodulator 12 to obtain binary interference signals for the quadrature component and the in-phase component. Correlations are then obtained between error signals of the main signals in the in-phase and the quadrature phase components obtained by the error signal detectors 19, 20 and the binary interference signals of the in-phase and the quadrature phase components. More specifically, the error signals of the quadrature components of the main signal and the interference signal on the quadrature component are multiplied by an exclusive OR 34 while the error signal of the in-phase component of the main signals and the interference signals on the in-phase component are multiplied by an exclusive OR 35. The signals obtained from these multiplications are added in analog by resistors 38, 39 and the output sum is integrated by an integrator 43. With the output from the integrator 43, the bipolar attenuator 55 of in-phase in the quadrature amplitude modulator 51 is controlled. In a similar manner to the above, the error signal of the in-phase component of the main signal and the quadrature phase component of the interference signal are multiplied by an exclusive OR 36 while the error signal of the quadrature phase component and the interference signal on the in-phase component are multiplied by an exclusive OR 37. The signals obtained by these multiplications are added to each other in analog by the resistors 40 , 41, and integrated by the integrator 42. With the output from the integrator 42, the bipoplar attenuator 54 of the quadrature phase in the modulator 51 is controlled. FIG. 3 is a block diagram to show the third prior art device wherein signal received on the main signal side and the received interference signal are detected in quadrature phase separately from each other, and the detector outputs are digitally processed unlike the first and the second prior art devices. The signal received on the main signal side which have been converted into IF by a frequency converter 3 is inputted at a demodulator 12. In the demodulator 12, the local frequency 13 reproduced from the received signal on the main signal side is inputted at phase detectors 15, 16 to detect quadrature phase signals. The output from the detectors are passed through low-pass filters 17, 18 and taken out as base-band signals of the in-phase and the quadrature phase. Meanwhile, the interference signal converted into the IF band is inputted at phase detectors 27, 28 and detected in the quadrature phase by means of the local frequency 13 reproduced from the main signal The outputs from the detectors are passed to low-pass filters 29, 30 to be taken out as the base-band signals of the in-phase and the quadrature phase. The base-band signals of the received main signal and interference signal in respective in-phase and quadrature phase components are digitized by analog/digital converters 70 through 73 having sufficient quantization precision. In this example,the analog/digital converters are used as it exemplifies digital processing. In the case where the main signal is the signal of 16QAM, the outputs from analog/digital converters 70 through 73 are quarternary. Therefore, in order to output the error digital signals, they should be sampled by an analog/digital converters having the output of 3 bits or more. As shown in the table, binary signals are obtained to show the result of decision in the most and next bits and the direction of errors in the third bit. The sampling signal of the analog/digital converters 70 through 73 is clock signal 44 reproduced from the signal received on the main signal side. The digitized interference signals in the in-phase and the quadrature phase components are inputted at bipolar attenuators 74 through 77 so that they are eliminated of the interference signal components mixed in the received signal on the main signal side by adders 78 through 81. The correlations between the error signals and the interference signals remaining in the main signals are obtained, and bipolar attenuators 74 through 77 are controlled in a manner to minimize the effect thereof. More specifically, the polarity signal of the interference signal on the quadrature phase side (obtainable from the most significant bit of the analog/digital converter) is multiplied with the error signal of the main signal on the quadrature phase side by an exclusive OR 82, and the output therefrom is integrated digitally by an integrator 86 to control with the output thereof the bipolar attenuator 76 connected to the side of the quadrature side interference signal. An exclusive OR 83 multiplies the polarity signal on the quadrature side of interference signals with error signal of the main signal on the in-phase side, and the output therefrom is integrated digitally by an integrator 87 to control a bipolar attenuator 74 connected to the quadrature side of the interference signal. An exclusive OR 84 multiplies the polarity signal of interference signal on the in-phase side with the error signal of main signal on the in-phase side, and the output therefrom is integrated digitally by an integrator 88 to control with its output a bipolar attenuator 75 connected to the interference signal on the in-phase side. An exclusive OR 85 multiplies the polarity signal of the interference signal on the in-phase side with the error signal of the main signal on the quadrature side, and the output therefrom is digitally integrated by an integrator 89 to control a bipolar attenuator 77 connected to the in-phase side of the interference signals. The aforementioned prior art circuits are, however, detrimental in that the signal(s) which causesinterference signals component must be received in order to obtain interference signal . In other words, it is necessary to install an auxiliary antenna only to receive the signal which cause interference. Due to the above described defects, when the main signal and the interference signal component share the same transmission path, the signals which cause interference cannot be detected precisely to thereby eliminate interference signal component. This invention aims to solve those problems encountered in the prior art and to provide an interference cancellation circuit which can sufficiently eliminate and cancel interference signal component even when the signal which cause the interference cannot be obtained directly. [Disclosure of the Invention] The interference cancellation circuit according to this invention is characterized in that the interference signal component can be extracted from one of received signals obtained from two receiver circuits by adding the signals in a manner to offset the main signal component and eliminated from the signal.

The invention provides a method of reducing the proportion of interference in a signal having an information component and an interference component and routed along a main path, characterised by the steps of receiving a second signal having the same information and interference components as the first signal, generating a control signal by mixing the first signal with the second signal while so adjusting the amplitude and phase of the second signal as to minimise the proportion of the information component in the control signal as it moves along an auxiliary path, generating a correction signal by adjusting the amplitude and phase of a signal obtained from a source, on one path, of the interference component and generating an output signal by combining the correction signal with the signal on the main path while so adjusting the amplitude and phase of the correction signal in accordance with both the control signal and the output signal that the output signal includes an interference component reduced relative to the information component in comparison with either signal.

Further, the method can include steps of separating the first received signal into sub-signals having a quadrature phase relationship one to another and so combining those sub-signals with the sub-signals obtained from the second signal as to provide a plurality of quadrature sub-signals having the respective interference components reduced relative to the information components. Preferably, the step of adjusting the amplitude and phase of the second signal includes the generation of further sub-signals having a quadrature phase relationship one to another, the adjustment of the amplitudes of the further sub-signals, and the addition of the adjusted further sub-signals. Preferably, the step of adjusting the amplitude and phase of the second signal includes the generation of sub-signals having respective delays in phase relative to the signal prior to separating it into sub-signals, the adjustment of the amplitudes of the sub-signals, and the addition of the adjusted sub-signals and, preferably, the delayed sub-signals are further separated into respective further sub-signals having a quadrature phase relationship one to another. The interference cancellation circuit according to this invention receives the signals which are the mixture of main signals and interference signals respectively from plural transmission paths. This invention circuit can obtain interference signal of a high purity by combining signals of an opposite phase to but of the same amplitude as the main signal. Therefore it is unnecessary to directly receive the signal which is the cause of interference. Even if the directions of the main signal source and the interference signal source are the same, this invention circuit can obtain precisely the signal which causes interference to thereby remove interference signal mixed in the received signal with a higher precision.

Embodiment 1 FIG. 4 shows the first embodiment of this invention in a block diagram. The interference cancellation circuit shown comprises two receiver circuits each of which receives a signal which is a mixture of a main signal and an interference signal. The two receiver circuits respectively comprise a main antenna 1 with its output circuit and an auxiliary antenna 4 with its output circuit. As the first adjustment means for relatively adjusting the amplitude and phase of received signals obtained at the two outputs of the receiving circuits, the interference cancellation circuit comprises a variable attenuator 91 and a variable phase shifter 92. As the first combining means for combining two received signals with the adjusted phase and amplitude, it further comprises a combiner 94; as the first control means for controlling the first adjuster to make the interference signal component included in the output from the first combining means sufficiently larger than the main signal component in level, it comprises a controller 93; as the second adjustment means for adjusting the amplitude and phase of the output from the first adjuster, it comprises a variable attenuator 10 and a variable phase shifter 8; as the second combining means for combining the output from the second adjuster to either one of the received signals by the received circuits or the sum of the two received signals (one received signal in this embodiment), it further comprises a combiner 11; and as the second controller means for controlling the second adjuster to make the interference signal component included in the output from the second combining means sufficiently small, it comprises a controller 95. The main antenna 1 and the auxiliary antenna 4 are respectively directed toward the direction of the source of main signal . It is assumed herein that the main signal is digital signal , and the source of interference is in the same direction. The main and the auxiliary antennas 1 and 4 simultaneously receive main signal together with the interference signal . The signals received by the main antenna 1 are divided and supplied to one of the inputs of the combiner 94. The signals received by the auxiliary 4 are supplied to the other input of the combiner 94 via the variable attenuator 91 and the variable phase shifter 92. In order to extract the interference signal from the output from the combiner 94, the main signal included in one of the inputs of the combiner 94 must be of the same amplitude but in opposite phase to the main signal included in the other input. The relative amplitude and phase differences between the received signal supplied from the auxiliary antenna 4 and the received signal supplied from the main antenna 1 are detected by a controller 93 to control with the output thereof the variable attenuator 91 and the variable phase shifter 92. As the main signal has been offset, the interference signal alone is ouputted from an output of the combiner 94. By using thus extracted interference signal, the interference signal component mixed with one of the main signals is to be removed by the following method. The interference signal outputted from the combiner 94 is supplied at one of the inputs of a combiner 11 via the variable phase shifter 8 and the variable attenuator 10. The received signal of the main antenna 1 is supplied at the other input of the combiner 11. In order to remove the interference signal from the output from the combiner 11, interference signals at the two inputs of the circuit 11 must be of the same amplitude but in opposite phase to each other. The controller 95 detects the relative difference in amplitude and phase between the interference signal outputted from the combiner 94 and the interference component in the received signal of the main antenna 1, and controls the variable phase shifter 8 and the variable attenuator 10 so as to make the relation between the interference signal and the interference component the same amplitude but antiphase. In this manner, interference signal is automatically extracted from the received signals which are a mixture of the interference signal and the main signal, and is used to automatically cancel such interference. Embodiment 2 FIG. 5 is a block diagram to show the second embodiment of this invention which differes from the embodiment 1 in that the main antenna 1 and the auxiliary antenna 4 are replaced with a wire transmission path 1′. This invention is therefore applicable not only to radio signals but also the cable signals. The circuit structures were simplified for facilitating understanding in the embodiments 1 and 2. Further detailed and more concrete structure of the circuit will be described in relation to other embodiments hereinafter. Embodiment 3 FIG. 6 is a block diagram to show the third embodiment of this invention. The main and the auxiliary antennas 1 and 4 are directed to the direction of the main signal transmitter of a digital type. The main signal is leaked-in with the interference signal. The signals received by the main and the auxiliary antennas 1 and 4 are supplied respectively to frequency converters 3, 6 via bandpass filters 2, 5, which improves S/N. The frequency converters 3, 6 convert respective signals into an intermediate frequency band with the local frequency supplied from a local oscillator 7. The signals converted into an IF band are inputted at signal dividers 95, 96. One of the outputs from the divider 95 is inputted at a combiner 94 while one of the outputs from the divider 96 is inputted at the combiner 94 via a variable attenuator 91 and a variable phase shifter 92. The circuits 91 and 92 are controlled in feed-back so as to make main signal components included in the two inputs at the combiner 94 identical in amplitude but opposite in phase to each other. Therefore, an interference signal which was mixed in the main signal appears at the output of the combiner 94 as the main signal component was remarkably attenuated. The feed-back control is conducted as follows. The two main signals respectively received by the main antenna 1 and the auxiliary antenna 4 are so combined by the combiner 94 to give them the same amplitude but antiphase to each other. Correlation is then detected between the remaining main signal component and the main signal before combining, and the amplitude and the phase are adjusted by the circuits 91 and 92 to minimize the correlation. This minimizes constantly the remaining main signal after combination. The main signals dominate at the time point where an interference cancellation operation is started. But as the operation proceeds to the normal operation, the interference signal component included in the main signal becomes more dominant, and is outputted from the combiner 94 as an interference signal. More particularly, by using the local frequency 13 reproduced from a demodulator 12 on the main signal side, the output of the combiner 94 or the interference signal which is remaining after the main signal has been removed is phase-detected by a phase-detector 28, and removed of harmonic component by a low-pass filter 30. The output from the low-pass filter 30 is binarized by a decision circuit 32 by using a clock signal 44 reproduced by the demodulator 12. Then a binary interference signal is obtained. The other output of the divider 96 is inputted at a coherent quadrature phase-detector 114 which divides the signal into the in-phase component and the quadrature component. The input is phase-detected by the phase-detectors 117, 118 by using the local frequency 13. The output is removed of harmonic component by low-pass filters 119, 120, and binarized by decision-circuits 121, 122 to binarize and divide the main signals into in-phase component and the quadrature component. The decision circuits 121, 122 binarize them with the clock signal 44 reproduced by the demodulator 12. The main signal of the in-phase component obtained from the circuit 122 is multiplied with the remaining main signal (interference signal) outputted digitally from the decision circuit 32 which has the in-phase relation thereto by an exclusive OR 125, and the result is integrated by an integrator 127. The variable attenuator 91 is controlled with the output from the integrator 127. Similarly, the main signal of the quadrature component outputted from the circuit 121 is digitally multiplied with the remaining main signal (interference signal) outputted from the circuit 32 which has the relative quadrature relation thereto by an exclusive OR 124, and the result is integrated by an integrator 126. The variable phase shifter 92 is controlled with the output from the integrator 126. The decision circuits 32, 121, 122 are provided to secure the operation of the exclusive ORs 124, 125 and they are not always necessary. As described above, the interference signal mixed within the main signal can automatically be extracted and cancelled. In order to cause delay time of the two main signals at the combiner 94 to coincide with each other, at least one of the signal paths should be provided with a delay circuit. With the interference signal, the interference component still remaining in the received signal at the main antenna can be erased. With the interference signal obtained by the aforementioned operation, the variable phase shifter 8 and the variable attenuator 10 are sequentially controlled and the output from the circuit 10 is added to the other output from the divider 95 by a combiner 11. The output signal from the circuit 10 is controlled to have the phase substantially opposite but the amplitude identical to the interference signal component mixed within the main siganl outputted from the divider 95. Therefore, the interference signal component can be removed from the output from the combiner 11. Description will be given to the variable phase shifter 8 and the variable attenuator 10. The main signal combined by the combiner 11 is then inputted at a demodulator 12. The demodulator 12 detects said main signal by a coherent quadrature phase detector comprising a 90 degree phase shifter 14 and phase detectors 15, 16 with the local frequency 13 reproduced from the main signal, and the output signals therefrom are passed through the low-pass filters 17, 18 to obtain the in-phase and quadrature phase baseband signals respectively. The obtained baseband signal is inputted at error signal detectors 19, 20 respectively. The error signal detectors 19, 20 respectively comprise decision circuits 21, 22 and subtractors 23, 24 for calculating the difference between the input and output thereof, and error signals are outputted from the subtractors 23, 24. When 16QAM signal is used as the main signal, an analog/digital converter of 3 bits or higher is used as the error signal detector. When 16QAM signal is demodulated, quarternary baseband signal is obtained. The quarternary signal is passed through a decision circuit of 3 bits or higher (A/D converter), the siginificant two bits express decision signals, and the third from the top bit an error signal as indicated in the table above. Therefore, the signal in the third bit is obtained as the error signal. The interference signal which has been outputted from the combiner 94 and passed through the divider 50 is phase-detected by a phase detector 28 with the local frequency 13, removed of the harmonic component by a low-pass filter 30, and binarized by a decision circuit 32. This provides binary interference signal. The decision circuit 32 operates binarization by using a clock signal 44 reproduced by the demodulator 12. Correlation is detected between the error signals of the in-phase and quadrature components obtained by the demodulator 12 and the binarized interference signal by the decision circuit 32. More particularly, the error signal of the in-phase component is digitally multiplied with the interference signal by an exclusive OR 35, and the output therefrom is integrated by an integrator 43. The output from the integrator 43 is used to control the variable attenuator 10. Meanwhile, the error signal of the quadrature component is digitally multiplied with the interference signal by the exclusive OR 37, and the output therefrom is integrated by the integrator 42. The output signal thereof is used to control the variable phase shifter 8. As described above, interference is automatically cancelled. In this embodiment, multiplication is conducted in binary signal by exclusive ORs 35, 37, but the binary circuit for interference signal is not always necessary. The exclusive ORs may be replaced with analog multipliers. Embodiment 4 FIG. 7 is a block diagram to show the fourth embodiment of this invention. This embodiment differs from the embodiment 3 in that the variable phase shifter and the variable attenuator are replaced with a quadrature amplitude demodulator in order to control the amplitude and phase of the main signal and of the interference signal. The quadrature amplitude modulator 51 comprises a divider 52 for dividing the input signal, a 90 degree phase shifter 53 shifts one of the outputs from the divider by 90 degrees, a bipolar attenuator 54 on π/2 phase which adjusts in amplitude the output from the phase shifter 53, a bipolar attenuator 55 which adjusts the amplitude of the other output from the divider 52, a combiner 56 which combines the outputs from the bipolar attenuators 54, 55. Similarly, a quadrature amplitude modulator 130 comprises a divider 131, a 90 degree phase shifter 132, bipolar attenuators 133, 134 and a combiner 135. The bipolar attenuator 134 on 0 phase within the quadrature amplitude modulator 130 is controlled with the output from the integrator 127 in the correlation detector 123 while the bipolar attenator 133 on π/2 phase is controlled with the output from the integrator 126. Similarly, the bipolar attenuator 55 on 0 phase and the bipolar attenuator 54 on π/2 phase within the quadrature amplitude modulator 51 are controlled with the outputs from the integrators 43 and 42 within the correlation detector 45 respectively. Embodiment 5 FIG. 8 is a block diagram to show the fifth embodiment of the interference cancellation circuit of this invention. This embodiment differs from the embodiment 4 in that exclusive ORs are not used for detecting correlation, and analog multiplication is conducted by the multipliers 140 through 143 to calculate the control gain. Embodiment 6 FIG. 9 is a block diagram to show the sixth embodiment of the interference cancellation circuit according to this invention. This embodiment differs from the embodiment 4 in that the error signal detectors 19, 20 and the decision circuits 32, 121, 122 are replaced with A/D converters 150 through 154. When the main signal is 16QAM, the third significant bit expresses error signal while the more significant two bits express the result of decision as shown in aforementioned table. Error signal can therefore be obtained from the third bit. The A/D converters 150 through 154 sample the input signals with the clock signal 44 reproduced by a main signal demodulator 12. Correlation is obtained between the most significant bit (polarity signal) of the output from the A/D converter 152 which converts the baseband signal of interference signal into the digital signal and the third bit (error signal) of the A/D converters 150, 151. With the correlation signal, the bipolar attenuators 54, 55 of the quadrature amplitude demodulator 51 are controlled. Then, the interference signal is removed. On the other hand, the A/D converters 153, 154 of the quadrature phase detector 114 output the most significant bit (polarity signal) of the quadrature phase and the in-phase components respectively. Correlation is obtained between this signal and the most significant bit of the A/D converter 152, and the bipoplar attenuators 33, 34 of the quadrature amplitude demodulator 30 are controlled by the correlation signal to extract the interference signal which has been mixed in the main signal. Embodiment 7 FIG. 10 is a block diagram to show the seventh embodiment of the interference signal cancellation circuit of this invention. This embodiment differs from the embodiment 3 in that binarization of extracted interference signals is conducted not only in in-phase detection but also by quadrature phase detection by a coherent quadrature phase detector, and binarization of the output from the divider 96 is conducted for phase detection in the in-phase component alone by a phase detector 118 and a decision circuit 122 instead of quadrature phase detection. The correlation detector 45 is replaced with a correlation detector 33 similar to that shown in the prior art of Fig. 1. Embodiment 8 FIG. 11 is a block diagram to show the eighth embodiment of the interference cancellation circuit according to this invention. This embodiment differs from the embodiment 3 in that the interference signal thus extracted is quadrature-phase detected for binarization. By this structure, the scale of the circuit becomes larger than the embodiment 3, but the control gain becomes twofold to improve the response and convergence performance in control. The structure of the correlation detector 166 is similar to the correlation detector 33 and comprises exclusive ORs 124, 125, 160, 161, resistors 162 through 165 and integrators 126, 127. Embodiment 9 FIG. 12 is a block diagram to show the ninth embodiment of this invention interference cancellation circuit. This embodiment differs from the embodiment 4 in that an antenna for a space diversity receiver is used as the auxiliary antenna 4. This makes provision of a new auxiliary antenna unnecessary and improves the efficiency in installation and economy of the system. A phase shifter 104 is used to adjust the combined phases in space diversity as the device is generally used to combine two received signals in in-phase. Embodiment 10 FIG. 13 is a block diagram to show the 10th embodiment of the interference cancellation circuit according to this invention. This embodiment differs from the embodiment 9 in that a receiver antenna 1″ for angle diversity is used as the main and auxiliary antennas 1 and 4. Compared to the structure using two antennas, this system can be reduced in size remarkably as it needs only one antenna 1″ for the angle diversity receiver. Embodiment 11 FIG. 14 is a block diagram to show the 11th embodiment of the interference cancellation circuit according to this invention. This embodiment differs from the embodiment 4 in that the quadrature amplitude modulator 130 is replaced with a transversal filter 340 (an embodiment of a 3-tap structure is shown). By structuring the circuit in this manner, even if received signals either at the main antenna 1 or at the auxiliary antenna 4 has the frequency characteristic, the main signal can be cancelled to extract the interference signal. The transversal filter 340 extracts the interference signal mixed with the main signal by the following operation. The main signal which has passed through the signal divider 96 in the receiver system of the auxiliary antenna 4 is inputted at a quadrature amplitude modulator comprising a delay circuit with plural taps or a two dimensional transversal filter 340 to control the amplitude and phase of the main signal having frequency characteristics. The transversal filter 340 further divides one of the signal outputs from the divider 96 by a divider 341, and feeds one of the outputs therefrom to a bipolar attenuator 342 which controls the in-phase component and feeds the other output to a bipolar attenuator 343 which relatively controls the quadrature component. The filter further respectively inputs the outputs of both bipolar attenuators 342, 343 at an adder 344 for addition. The output from the divider 341 is passed through a delay circuit 346 with a delay equivalent to the clock cycle T of the data (or its multiplication by an integer or by 1/integer) from the main signal, and divided by the divider 341 similarly to the above. One of the signals divided by the divider 341 is supplied to the bipolar attenuator 342 which controls the in-phase component. The other signal is supplied to the bipolar attenuator 343 which controls the quadrature phase component. The outputs from the bipolar attenuators 342, 343 are added by the adder 344 to be outputted. The signals which have been delayed by 2 X T by the two delay circuits 346 are divided by a signal divider 341, and controlled in the in-phase components by the bipolar attenuator 342 while being controlled in the quadrature component by the bipolar attenuator 343. The outputs from the bipolar attenuators 342, 343 are added by an adder 344 for output. The outputs from the adder 344 are combined by a 90 degree combiner 345 for output. On the other hand, the received signal on the side of the main antenna 1 is divided by a signal divider 95, and inputted at a combiner 94 via a delay circuit 346 to be added with the output from the 90 degree combiner 345. The delay circuit 346 is used to correct and set the delay time of the signal at the delay time T which is identical to the center tap of the transversal filter 340. The two main signals inputted at the combiner 94 are antiphase to each other but in the amplitude identical to each other. As the frequency characteristics thereof are converted to be the same, both signals are combined to extract the interference signal alone. By using a transversal filter 340 for adding the main signal received by the main antenna 1 with frequency characteristics to the main signal received by the auxiliary antenna 4 having different frequency characteristics in opposite phase but of the same amplitude to each other, the main signal is remarkably attenuated to emphasize the interference component which is contained therein. In order to control respective weights of the transversal filter 340, it is necessary to correlate the main signal which is still remaining after combining of the two signals or the interference signal with one of the main signals before combining,and weighting circuits (the bipolar attenuators 342, 343) are controlled in feed-back in a manner to minimize the amount of the main signal after addition or correlation. The operation will now be described in more specific and detailed manner. The output from the combiner 94 is divided by a divider 50 and inputted at a phase detector 28. The phase detector 28 detects in-phase the signal from the divider 50 with local frequency reproduced by the demodulator 12 for the main signal. The detector output is removed of harmonic components by a low-pass filter 30 and binarized by a decision circuit 32 by means of clock signal 44 reproduced by a demodulator 12. Thus, binary interference signal a is obtained. The signal received by the auxiliary antenna 4 is divided by the divider 96. One of the outputs from the divider 96 is passed through a delay circuit 346 for correcting the delay time T which is identical to the center tap of the transversal filter 340 and supplied to a coherent quadrature phase detector 114 via a delay line τ 2 . The signal is phase-detected by phase detectors 117, 118 by means of the local frequency 13 reproduced by the demodulator 12. The detector output is removed of the harmonic components by low-pass filters 119, 120, and binarized by the decision circuits 121, 122 by means of a clock signal 44 reproduced by the demodulator 12. By these operation, a binary main signal in-phase component a I and a main signal quadrature component a Q are obtained. The binarized interference signal a , the binarized main signal in-phase component a I and the main signal quadrature component a Q are inputted at a transversal filter controller 190. Bipolar variable attenuators 342, 343 of the transversal filter 340 are controlled with the following outputs from the transversal filter controller 190. C -1 (= X -1 + j Y -1 ) C 0 (= X 0 + j Y 0 ) C +1 (= X +1 + j Y +1 ) FIG. 15 shows the circuit structure of the transversal filter controller 190. For instance, signal X -1 which controls the bipolar attenuator 342 of the first tap is generated as follows. The binary interference signal a is inputted at one of the input terminals of the exclusive OR 198 while a signal obtained by delaying the binary main signal in-phase component a I for 1 X T by the delay circuit 192 is inputted at the other input terminal. These signals are multiplied by the exclusive OR 198, and the output therefrom is integrated by an integrator 204. This operation provides correlation between two signals. With the output X -1 therefrom, the bipolar attenuator 342 which is related to the in-phase component of the first tap of the transversal filter 340 is controlled. Similarly, the interference signal a and the signal obtained by delaying the binary main signal quadrature component a Q for 1 X T by the delay circuit 191 are multiplied by the exclusive OR 199, and integrated by the integrator 205. With the output Y -1 , therefrom, the bipolar attenuator 343 which is related to the quadrature component of the first tap at the transversal filter 340 is controlled. In a similar manner, the bipolar attenuators 342, 343 of respective taps are controlled by the signals C -1 , C 0 , and C +1 to cause the output from the 90 degree combiner 345 to coincide with the output from the divider 95 on the main signal side in frequency characteristics and amplitude but to become antiphase to each other. Therefore, even if the frequency characteristics of the two input received signals differ from each other, if only they are combined, the main signal is almost fully erased while the level of the interference component mixed therein is increased. Then, the interference component is outputted as an interference signal from the combiner 94. In this embodiment, it is necessary to adjust relative timings by delay lines τ 1 and τ 2 to maximize the effect of cancellation. Moreover, it is necessary to cause relative delay times of the two main signals to coincide with each other. Although the number of taps at the transversal filter is described as 3, the precision in extraction of interference signals may be increased by increasing the number of taps. The similar effect may be achieved by using transversal filters of other structures. Embodiment 12 FIG. 16 is a block diagram to show the 12th embodiment of interference cancellation circuit according to this invention. This embodiment differs from embodiment 11 in that the transversal filter 340 is replaced with a transversal filter 350 having a delay circuit 351 with the delay time which is one half of the data clock cycle T. This embodiment further uses a transversal filter controller 354 having a delay circuit 351 of the delay time T/2. By structuring the circuit in this way, even if relative delay times of the two main signals are not coincidental to each other, the effect of cancellation is prevented from decreasing. However, in this embodiment, it is necessary to increase the operational speed of the decision circuits 32, 121, 122 connected to inputs of the transversal filter controller 354 by twofold. The clock signal 44 is doubled in frequency by a frequency multiplier 352 to be inputted at the decision circuits 32, 121, 122. As the correlation detector 45 for controlling the quadrature amplitude demodulator 51 must be synchronized to clock signal 44 in operation, the output from the decision circuit 32 is decreased to one half in frequency by a flipflop 353. Although the delay circuit 351 of T/2 was described for this embodiment, the circuit of delay time of T divided by an integer may be similarly used. FIG. 17 shows the circuit structure of a transversal filter controller 354 using T/2 delay circuit 351. Embodiment 13 FIG. 18 is a block diagram to show the 13th embodiment of the interference cancellation circuit according to this invention. This embodiment differs from the embodiment 11 in that a transversal filter 210 comprising delay lines with plural taps is used to cancel an interference signal mixed in the main signal instead of adjusting the amplitude and phase of the interference signal with a quadrature amplitude demodulator 51 of a single tap. With this structure, the circuit is highly effective in interference cancellation even if the interference signal is a wide band signal and has frequency characteristics. In FIG. 18, the interference signal outputted from the combiner 94 is passed through the transversal filter 210 and supplied to the combiner 11. The transversal filter 210 and the transversal filter controller 230 are structured similarly to the aforementioned transversal filter 340 and the transversal filter controller 190. Embodiment 14 FIG. 19 is a block diagram to show the 14th embodiment of the interference cancellation circuit according to this invention, and FIG. 20 a circuit diagram of a transversal filter controller 357. This embodiment differs from the embodiment 13 in that the transversal filters 340, 210 and the transversal filter controllers 190, 230 are replaced with the transversal filter 350 and the transversal filter controller 354 shown for the embodiment 12 and a transversal filter 356 and a transversal filter controller 357 of the same structure as the above. The same effect may be achieved by replacing only the transversal filter 340 of the embodiment 13 with the transversal filter 350 of this embodiment without replacing the transversal filter 210, and using correspondingly the transversal filter controller 354. Alternatively, the transversal filter 210 of the embodiment 13 is replaced by the transversal filter 356 of this embodiment and using the transversal filter controller 357 correspondingly thereto. Embodiment 15 FIG. 21 is a block diagram to show the 15th embodiment of the interference cancellation circuit according to this invention. This embodiment is identical to the embodiment 1 in that the interference signal is extracted from the two received signals, but differs from the embodiment 1 in that the interference signal component included in the received signal of the auxiliary antenna 4 is adjusted in amplitude and phase, combined with the received signal of the main antenna 1, and adjusted in amplitude and phase in a manner to minimize the interference signal component included in the output from the combiner. More particularly, a signal or a mixture of the main signal and the interference signal is received one each by two receiver circuits or the main antenna 1 with its own output circuit and the auxiliary antenna 4 with its own output circuit. This embodiment further comprises the following; a variable attenuator 91 and a variable phase shifter 92 as the first adjusting means which adjusts the relative amplitude and phase of received signals obtained at the respective outputs of the two receiver circuits; a combiner 94 as the first combining means which combines the two received signals which have been adjusted in amplitude and phase by the first adjusting means; a controller 93 as the first controlling means which controls the first adjusting means so as to make the interference signal component included within the output from the first combining means sufficiently larger in level than the main signal component, a variable attenuator 360 and a variable phase shifter 361 as the third adjusting means which adjusts the relative amplitude and phase of the received signal at the outputs of the two receiver circuits and which is separately provided from the first adjusting means; a combiner 362 as the third combining means which combines the two received signals which have been adjusted in amplitude and phase by the third adjusting means; and a controller 363 as the third controlling means which controls the third adjusting means to make the interference signal component included within the output from the third combining means sufficiently small. The method to cancel the interference signal mixed within the main signal will be described below. In order to cancel the interference signal out of the output from the combiner 362, the variable attenuator 360 and the variable phase shifter 361 are controlled in a manner to make the interference signal within the signal received by the auxiliary antenna 4 and the interference signal within the signal received by the main antenna 1 identical in amplitude but opposite in phase to each other. Correlation between the interference signal outputted from the combiner 94 and the interference component included within the output from the combiner 362 is detected by a controller 363, and the variable attenuator 360 and the variable phase shifter 361 are controlled to remove the interference component. In order to make the ratio of the main signal power against the interference signal power (D/U) in the output from the combiner 362 larger than the ratio of the main antenna 1 against the auxiliary antenna 4 in input or their D/U ratio, the variable attenuator 360 may be inserted not only in the side of the auxiliary antenna 4 but also of the main antenna 1. By the operation mentioned above, the interference signal mixed within the main signal may be automatically cancelled. This embodiment will now be described more specifically below. Embodiment 16 FIG. 22 is a block diagram to show the 16th embodiment of the interference cancellation circuit according to this invention. The signals received by the main antenna 1 and the auxiliary antenna 4 are passed through bandpass filters 2, 5 to improve signal-against-noise ratio, and are converted into intermediate frequency respectively by the frequency converters 3, 6 by means of the local frequency from a common local oscillator 7. The signals converted to IF are inputted respectively at dividers 95, 96. One of the outputs from the divider 95 is inputted at the combiner 362. One of the outputs from the divider 96 is inputted at a combiner 94 via the divider 365, the variable attenuator 91 and the variable phase shifter 92. The circuits 91 and 92 are controlled in feed-back so that the main signal in the abovementioned output from the divider 96 has the same amplitude as but opposite phase to the main signal in the other output from the divider 95. This remarkably attenuates the main signal output within the output from the combiner 94, to thereby emphasize the interference signal. The method of controlling the circuits 361 and 362 is described below. It causes the interference signal within the signal received by the auxiliary antenna 4 to have the same amplitude as but opposite phase to the interference signal in the signal received by the main antenna 1. The main signal combined by the combiner 362 is inputted at the demodulator 12. The demodulator 12 detects in quadrature phase the main signal by the phase detectors 15, 16 by means of the local frequency reproduced from the main signal, and the output signals therefrom are passed to the low-pass filters 17, 18 respectively for removing harmonic components to obtain in-phase and quadrature phase baseband signals. Thus obtained baseband signals are inputted at error detectors 19, 20 respectively. The error detectors 19, 20 comprise decision circuits 21, 22 and subtractors 23, 24 out of which error signals are outputted. On the other hand, the interference signal outputted from the combiner 94 is detected in-phase by the phase detector 28 by means of a local frequency 13, removed of harmonic componet by the low-pass filter 30, and binarized by a decision circuit 32. This operation provides binary interference signals. The decision circuit 32 operates with a clock signal 44 reproduced by the main signal demodulator 12 to binarize the signals. The operation proceeds to the step of detecting the correlation between the in-phase and quadrature error signals obtained from the demodulator 12 and the binarized interference signal. More particularly, the error signal and the interference of the in-phase component signal are diditally multiplied by an exclusive OR 35, and the output therefrom is used to control a variable attenuator 360. The error signal and the interference signal of the quadrature component are digitally multiplied by an exclusive OR 37, and the output therefrom is integrated by an integrator 42, and the output signal therefrom is used to control a variable phase shifter 361. In this manner, interferene is automatically cancelled. Embodiment 17 FIG. 23 is a block diagram to show the 17th embodiment of the interference cancellation circuit according to this invention. This embodiment differs from the embodiment 16 in that the amplitude and phase of the signal received by the auxiliary antenna 4 is controlled by a quadrature amplitude modulator while this is controlled by a variable attenuator and a variable phase shifter in the embodiment 16. More particularly, the circuits 361 and 360 are controlled respectively with the correlation output from the integrators 42, 43, and the variable phase shifter 92 and the variable attenuator 91 are controlled with the correlation output from the integrators 126, 127 in the embodiment 16, the same operation is executed by using the quadrature amplitude modulators 130, 370 in this embodiment. The quadrature amplitude modulator 130 comprises a divider 131 for dividing input signals, a 90 degree phase shifter 132 which shifts one of the outputs of the divider 131 by 90 degrees, a bipolar attenuator 133 of quadrature phase which adjusts the amplitude of the output from the 90 degree phase shifter 132, a bipolar attenuator 134 which adjusts the amplitude of the other output from the divider 131, and a combiner 135 which combines the outputs from the bipolar attenuators 133, 134. The quadrature amplitude modulator 370 similarly comprises a divider 371, a 90 degree phase shifter 372, a bipolar attenuators 373, 374 and a combiner 375. The bipolar attenuator 134 of in-phase within the quadrature amplitude modulator 130 is controlled with the output from the integrator 127 of the correlation detector 123. The quadrature phase bipolar attenuator 133 is controlled by the output from the integrator 126. The in-phase bipolar attenuator 374 and the quadrature phase bipolar attenuator 373 within the other quadrature amplitude modular 370 are similar and respectively controlled with the outputs from the integrators 43, 42 within the correlation detector 45. Embodiment 18 FIG. 24 is a block diagram to show the 18th embodiment of the interference cancellation circuit according to this invention. This embodiment differs from the embodiment 17 in that the quadrature amplitude modulators 130, 370 are replaced with the transversal filters 380, 381 for controlling the amplitude and phase of the signal received by the auxiliary antenna 4. By structuring the circuit in this manner, even if the signals received by the main antenna 1 or the auxiliary antenna 4 have the frequency characteristics, interference signal can be cancelled from the received signal. The transversal filters 380, 381 may be the same as those shown in FIG. 14, and the transversal filter controllers 382, 383 may be the same as those shown in FIG. 15. Embodiment 19 FIG. 25 is a block diagram to show the 19th embodiment of the interference cancellation circuit according to this invention. In this embodiment, the delay time between the taps of the controllers 386 , 387 of the transversal filters 384, 385 is T/2, or more particularly the transversal filters 384, 385 are the same as the transversal filter 350 shown in FIG. 16,and their controllers 386,387 are the same as the one shown either in FIG. 17 or 20. In this case, clock signal 44 is doubled in frequency by a frequency multiplier 352 to be inputted at decision circuits 32, 121, and 122 similarly to the case shown in FIG. 16. Embodiment 20 FIG. 26 is a block diagram to show the 20th embodiment of the interference cancellation circuit according to this invention. The interference cancellation circuit of this embodiment comprises a main antenna 1 with its output circuit and an auxiliary antenna 4 with its output circuit as the two receiver circuits which separately receive a mixture of the main signal and the interference signal; a variable attenuator 91 and a variable phase shifter 92 as the first adjusting means which adjusts the relative amplitude and phase of received signals obtained at the respective outputs of the two receiver circuits; a combiner 94 as the first combining means which combines the two received singals which have been adjusted in amplitude and phase by the first adjusting means; a controller 93 as the first controlling means which controls the first adjusting means so as to make the interference signal component included within the outpout from the first combining means sufficiently larger in level that main signal component; a variable attenuator 10 and a variable phase shifter 38 as the second adjusting means which adjusts the amplitude and phase of the output from the first combining means, a combiner 11 as the second combining means which combines the output from the second adjusting means to the sum of the received signals of the two receiver circuits, and a controller 95 as the second controlling means which controls the second adjusting means so as to make the interference signal component included in the output from the second combining means sufficiently small. The main and auxiliary antennas 1 and 4 are directed to the transmission source of the main signal (digital signals in this embodiment). As the interference source lies in the same direction, receiver circuits inevitably receive the main signal and the interference signal simultaneously. In digital radio transmission, the combing system is generally employed. In the case, two antennas are used as they are and the signals respectively received by the main antenna 1 and the auxiliary antenna 4 are combined by a combiner 90. The method of extracting the interference signal mixed with the main signal will be described below. The signal received by the main antenna 1 is supplied at one of the inputs of a combiner 94 after being divided. The signal received by the auxiliary antenna 4 is also divided and then passed through the variable attenuator 91, and the variable phase shifter 92, and supplied at the other input of the combiner 94. Main signals in the two inputs at the combiner 94 should be in opposite phase but in the same amplitude to each other in order to extract the interference signal out of the output from the combiner 94. The received signal sent from the auxiliary antenna 4 and the received signal sent from the main antenna 1 are detected in relative amplitude and phase differences by a controller 93 and the variable phase shifter 92 and the variable attenuator 91 are controlled with the output therefrom. As a result, the main signal is erased from the output from the combiner 94 to leave the interference signal alone. The method to cancel the interference signal mixed within the main signal based on thus extracted interference signal will now be described. The interference signal outputted from the combiner 94 is supplied at one of the inputs of the combiner 11 via the variable attenuator 10 and the variable phase shifter 8. The received signal outputted from the combiner 90 is supplied at the other input of the combiner 11. The interfrence signals at the inputs of the combiner 11 should be in opposite phase but in the same amplitude to each other in order to cancel the interference signal from the output from the combiner 11. Therefore, the relative difference in amplitude and phase between the interference signal outputted from the combiner 94 and the interference component included within the signal outputted from the combiner 90 are detected, and the variable attenuator 10 and the variable phase shifter 8 are controlled so as to cause the two signals to have opposite phases and the same amplitude to each other. As described above, the interference signal which has been mixed within the main signal is automatically extracted, and interference may be automatically cancelled based on it. The concrete construction of the controllers 93 and 95 will be described in relation to the 21st embodiment and those following. Embodiment 21 FIG. 27 is a block diagram to show the 21st embodiment of this invention wherein a main antenna 1 and an auxiliary antenna 4 are directed to the transmission source of the main signal (digital signal), but are interfered. In ordinary digital radio transmission, the combing system is often employed. In such a case, the two antennas are used as they are. The signals received by the two antennas are passed through the bandpass filters 2, 5 (not always required) for improving S/N, and are converted into an intermediate frequency by the frequency converters 3, 6 by means of a common local oscillator 7. The signals converted in IF band are respectively passed through automatic gain controllers 101, 102 to give the same amplitude to the outputs therefrom. Out of the outputs with the same amplitude, the output from the circuit 101 is supplied to a combing phase controller 103 and a divider 105 while the output from the circuit 102 is supplied to a combing phase controller 103 and a divider 106 via a variable phase shifter 104. The variable phase shifter 104 is adjusted in phase by a phase controller 103, and the outputs from the dividers 105, 106 are supplied to the combiner 90 in the same phase. The in-phase combiner circuit 100 comprises the parts denoted by reference numerals 1 through 7, 101 through 106, and 90. The interference signal mixed within the main signal can be extracted as follows. The control voltage of the two automatic gain controllers 101, 102 are inputted at a differential amplifier 107, the output therefrom is used to control a variable attenuator 91 connected to the divider 106, and the output from the variable attenuator 91 and the output from the divider 105 are given the same amplitude. As the output from the circuit 91 and the output from the divider 105 have already been adjusted to be in the same phase, if they are inputted at a 180 degree combiner 94, they are added to each other in antiphase. The main signal from the combiner 94 is offset in antiphase to output the interference signal alone. By employing thus obtained interference signal, the interference component remaining within the main signal which is produced by combining the two signals in-phase is cancelled. More particularly, the interference signal obtained as above is sequentially inputted at a variable attenuator 10 which controls the amplitude and at a variable phase shifter 8 which controls the phase, and the outputs from the circuits 8 and 10 are combined by an combiner 11. As the output signal from the circuit 10 has already been adjusted to have a substantially opposite phase to and the same amplitude as the interference component mixed in the signal outputted from the combiner 90, the output from the combiner 11 does not contain the interference component. The delay times at the combiner 94 which combines the two main signals in antiphase but with the same amplitude should be coincidental to each other. The control method of the circuits 8 and 10 will now be described below. The received signals combined by the combiner 11 are inputted at the demodulator 12. The demodulator 12 detects quadraturely the received signals by a quadrature phase detector comprising a 90 degree phase shifter 14 and phase detectors 15, 16 by means of the local frequency reproduced from the received signals, and passes the output signals respectively to low-pass filters 17, 18 to obtain quadrature and in-phase baseband signals. The obtained baseband signals are respectively inputted at error signal detectors 19, 20. The error signal detectors 19, 20 comprise decision circuits 21, 22, and subtractors 23, 24 for calculating the difference between the inputs and outputs, and error signals are outputted from the subtractors 23, 24. When the main signal is 16QAM signal, an A/D converter of 3 bits or more may be used as the error signal detector. Quarternary baseband signal is obtained by demodulating the 16QAM signal. By passing the quarternary signal through a decision circuit (A/D converter) having the output of 3 bits or more, the most significant two bits in the output therefrom indicate a decision signal and the third bit an error signal as shown in the table above. Error signal may be obtained from the third bit in this way. The interference signal obtained by the combiner 94, on the other hand, is passed through a variable phase shifter 8 and a divider 9, phase-detected by a phase detector 28 by means of aforementioned local frequency 13, removed of harmonic component by a low-pass filter 30 and binarized by a decision circuit 32. This operation provides binarized interference signals. The decision circuit 32 binarizes the signal by employing the clock signal 44 reproduced by the demodulator 12 on the main signal side. The correlation of the error signal is detected in the in-phase and the quadrature components obtained by the demodulator 12 with the interference signal which has been binarized. More particularly, the error signal and the interference signal of the in-phase component are digitally multiplied by an exclusive OR 35, and the output is integrated by an integrator 43, and the variable attenuator 10 is controlled with the output. The error signal of the quadrature component and the interference signal are digitally multiplied by an exclusive OR 37, and the output therefrom is integrated by an integrator 42. The variable phase shifter 8 is controlled with the output signal therefrom. The correlation detector 45 comprises exclusive ORs 35, 37 and integrators 42, 43. By connecting the outputs of the integrators 42, 43 with the variable attenuator 10 and the variable phase shifter 8 respectively, amplitude controlling means and phase controlling means are respectively constructed. The controller 95 of the embodiment 20 comprises a phase detector 28, a low-pass filter 30, a decision circuit 32 and a correlation detector 33. The controller 93 in the embodiment 20 comprises a phase controller 103 and a differential amplifier 107. In this manner, interference may be cancelled automatically. Although multiplication in binary codes with exclusive ORs 35, 37 is described herein, the binarizing circuit for the interference signals is not absolutely necessary, and the same effect may be achieved by an analog multiplier instead of an exclusive OR. Embodiment 22 FIG. 28 is a block diagram to show the 22nd emodiment of the interference cancellation circuit according to this invention. This embodiment mainly differs from the embodiment 21 in the structure of the in-phase combiner circuit 100 and of the controller 93. The circuit structure of the controller 95 is the same as that of the embodiment 21. In the embodiment 21 shown in FIG. 27, phases of the received signals from the main and the auxiliary antennas 1 and 4 are aligned by the in-pahse combiner circuit 100 by inputting control voltages at the differential amplifier 104 for aligning the outputs from the automatic gain controllers 101, 102 at the same level so as to adjust the outputs at the same amplitude in advance, and offsetting the main signal by the 180 degree combiner 94. In this embodiment, however, there are provided variable attenuator 91 and a variable phase shifter 92 for adjusting the amplitude and the phase of the received signals, and both circuits 91, 92 are controlled in feed-back so as to to give to the two signals received by two antennas 1 and 4 the same amplitude but opposite phases to each other. The feed-back control is executed as follows. The two main signals received by the two antennas 1 and 4 are combined in a manner to give them the same amplitude but opposite phases, and the main signal still remaining after combination is correlated with either one of the two signals before combination. The amplitude and the phase of the other main signal are controlled by the variable attenuator 91 and the variable phase shifter 92 in a manner to minimize the remaining main signal or the correlation. This keeps the main signal remaining after combination constantly minimum. At the point where the interference cancellation operation starts, the main signal is dominant while as the operation proceeds into normal operation, the interference component included in the main signal becomes more dominant and is outputted from the combiner 94 as the interference signal. More specifically, by employing the local frequency 13 reproduced by the main signal demodulator 12, the output from the combiner 94 or the interference signal remaining after the main signal has been erased is detected in phase by the phase detector 111, and passed through a low-pass filter 112 to remove the harmonic component. The output from the filter 112 is binarized by a decision circuit 113 by using clock signals 44 reproduced by the main signal demodulator 12. Thus, the interference signal is obtained in binary code. The signal received by the auxiliary antenna 4 is divided by the divider 110 and inputted at the coherent quadrature phase detector 114. The input signal is detected in-phase by phase detectors 117, 118 by means of the local frequency 13, passed through low-pass filters 119, 120 to remove the harmonic component and binarized by the decision circuits 121, 122. This provides binarized main signal of in-phase and quadrature phase components. The clock signal reproduced by the demodulator 12 is supplied to the decision circuits 121, 122 for binarization. The main signal of in-phase component obtained from the decision circuit 122 is digitally multiplied with the remaining main signal (interference signal) outputted from the decision circuit 113 which is related in phase to the above main signal by the exclusive OR 125, and the result is integrated by an integrator 127. The variable attenuator 91 is controlled with the output from the integrator 127. Similarly, the main signal of quadrature phase outputted from the decision circuit 121 is digitally multiplied with the remaining main signal (interference signal) outputted from the decision circuit 113 which is in quadrature relation by an exclusive OR 124, and the result is integrated by an integrator 126. With the output from the integrator, the variable phase shifter 92 is controlled. The correlation detector 123 comprises exclusive ORs 124, 125 and integrators 126, 127, while the controller 93 in FIG. 26 comprises a phase detector 111, a low-pass filter 112, a decision circuit 113, a quadrature phase detector 114 and a correlation detector 123. As mentioned above, the decision circuits 113, 121, 122 are not absolutely necessary. As described in the foregoing, the interference signal mixed within the received signal is automatically extracted for removal. The delay time of the two received signals should be adjusted to coincide with each other at the combiner 94. Embodiment 23 FIG. 29 is a block diagram to show the 23rd embodiment according to this invention. The embodiment 23 differs from the embodiment 22 shown in FIG. 28 in that operation separately conducted by the phase detector 111, the low-pass filter 112 and the decision circuit 113 for extracting interference signals, and the phase detector 28, the low-pass filter 30 and the decision circuit 32 are executed by a common circuit or by a phase detector 28, a low-pass filter 30 and a decision circuit 32. This simplifies interference cancellation circuit remarkably. The method to control the variable attenuators 10, 91 and the variable phase shifters 8, 92 are the same as that described for the embodiment 22. Embodiment 24 FIG. 30 is a block diagram to show the 24th embodiment according to this invention. This embodiment differs from the embodiment 23 shown in FIG. 29 in that the amplitudes and phases of the main signal and the interference signal are controlled by quadrature amplitude modulators instead of the variable attenuator and the variable phase shifter of the embodiment 23. The variable attenuators 10, 91 and the variable phase shifters 8, 92 are controlled by the correlation outputs from the integrators 43, 127, 42, and 126 in the embodiment 23. In the embodiment 24, however, the same function is obtained by the quadrature amplitude modulators 130, 51. The quadrature amplitude modulator 130 comprises a divider 131 for dividing input signal, a 90 degree phase shifter 132 which shifts by 90 degrees the phase of one of the outputs of the divider 131, a bipolar attenuator 133 of quadrature phase for adjusting the amplitude of the output from the phase shifter 132, an in-phase bipolar attenuator 134 for adjusting the amplitude of the other output from the divider 131, and a combiner 135 which combines the outputs from the bipolar attenuators 133, 134. The quadrature amplitude demodulator 51 similarly comprises a divider 52, a 90 degree phase shifter 53, bipolar attenuators 54, 55 and a combiner 56. The in-phase bipolar attenuator 134 in the quadrature amplitude modulator 130 is controlled by the output from the integrator 127 while the quadrature bipolar attenuator 133 is controlled by the output from the integrator 126. Similarly, the quadrature and in-phase attenuators 54, 55 whithin the quadrature modulator 51 are controlled respectively with the outputs from the integrators 42, 43. Embodiment 25 FIG. 31 is a block diagram to show the 25th emboidment of this invention. The embodiment 25 differs from the embodiment 24 shown in FIG. 30 in that correlation detection is conducted not by an exclusive OR, but by analog multiplication with multipliers 140 through 143 to increase control gain. Embodiment 26 FIG. 32 is a block diagram to show the 26th embodiment of this invention. The embodiment differs from the embodiment 24 shown in FIG. 30 in that the error signal detectors 19, 20 and the decision circuits 32, 121, 122 are replaced by A/D converters 150 through 154. When the main signal is 16QAM, if an A/D converter of the output more than 3 bits is used as indicated in the table above, the most significant two bits of the output thereof indicate the result of decision and the third bit the error signal. It therefore becomes possible to take out the error signal out of the third from the most significant bit. The A/D converters 150 through 154 conduct sampling with the clock signal 44 reproduced by the demodulator 12. Then, the first bit (polarity signal) of the A/D converter 152 which converts the baseband signal of the interference signal into digital signal is correlated with the third bit (error signal) of the A/D converters 150, 151, and the bipolar attenuators 54, 55 within the modulator 51 are controlled by the correlation signals. By this operation interference signal can be removed. A/D converters 153, 154 within the quadrature phase detector 114 connected to the output of the divider 110 output respectively the most significant bit (polarity signal) of the in-phase component and the quadrature phase component. The most significant bit thereof is correlated with the most significant bit of the A/D converter 152 in detection, and the bipolar attenuators 133, 134 of the quadrature amplitude modulator 130 are controlled by the correlation signal to extract the interference signal mixed with the main signal. Embodiment 27 FIG. 33 is a block diagram to show the 27th embodiment of this invention. This embodiment differs from the embodiment 23 shown in FIG. 29 in that binarization of the extracted interference signal is conducted by a quadrature phase detector 25 (the structure thereof is the same as the one of the quadrature phase detector 114 shown in relation to the emboidment 23) instead of phase detector, and the in-phase component alone is detected in-phase for binarization of the output from the divider 110 without using the quadrature phase detector. For this reason, the structure of the correlation detector 33 slightly differs from that of the circuit 45 of the embodiment 23, but is the same as the prior art circuit 33 shown in FIG. 1. Embodiment 28 FIG. 34 is a block diagram to show the 28th embodiment of this invention. This embodiment differes from the embodiment 23 shown in FIG. 29 in that the extracted interference signal is binarized by a quadrature detector 25 similarly to the embodiment 27. This makes the circuit scale larger than the embodiment 23 but the control gain becomes twice as much to thereby improve response and convergence in control performance. The structure of the correlation detector 166 is the same as that of the correlation detector 33 comprising exclusive ORs 124, 125, 160, 161, resistances 162 through 165, and integrators 126, 127. The 29th through 35th embodiments of this invention will be explained below. These embodiments differ from aforementioned embodiments remarkably in that the quadrature amplitude modulator 130 used in the 24th through 26th emboidments is replaced by a two-dimensional transversal filter 170. Embodiment 29 FIG. 35 is a block diagram to show the 29th embodiment of this invention. In the figure, the main and auxiliary antennas 1 and 4 are directed in the arrival direction of the main signal (digital signal) to receive the main signal. The main signal contains the interference signal due to the interference from other systems. The signals received by the two antennas 1, 4 are passed through bandpass filters 2, 5 (not necessarily required at all times) in order to improves S/N, and converted into IF band by frequency converters 3, 6 by means of local signal from a common local oscillator 7. The signals converted into IF band are inputted into a combiner 90 via dividers 95, 96 and combined. In radio communication systems, the combing system is generally employed and two signals are often combined in-phase by a combiner 90. (For in-phase combination, a phase shifter may be necessary, but it is not shown for simplicity's sake.) In such a case, the two antennas are utilized for this invention. The interference signal mixed within the main signal is extracted by the following method. The received signal having a frequency characteristic which has been passed through the divider 95 of the receiver circuit on the main antenna side 1 is inputted at a quadrature amplitude modulator comprising delay lines with plural taps or a two-dimensional transversal filter 170 (in this embodiment with three taps) to be controlled in amplitude and phase. The two dimensional transversal filter 170 divides the signal from the divider 95 further by a divider 173, and supplies one of the outputs to a bipolar attenuator 182 which controls the in-phase component and the other output to a bipolar attenuator 179 which controls the quadrature phase component relatively via a 90 degree phase shifter 176, and inputs the outputs from both bipolar attenuators 182, 179 to a combiner 185 for combination. The output from the divider 95 is passed through a delay circuit 171 which delays it by 1 X T (T denotes clock cycle of data, but may be the quotient of the division by an integer) from the received signal, and is divided by a divider 174 in a manner similar to the above. One of the outputs is supplied to a bipolar attenuator 183 which controls the in-phase component while the other output is supplied to a bipolar attenuator 180 which controls the quadrature phase component via a 90 degree phase shifter. The outputs from both bipolar attenuators 183, 180 are combined by a combiner 186 for output. The signal delayed by 2 X T by the two delay circuits 171, 172 is divided by the divider 175, and the in-phase component thereof is controlled by a bipolar attenuator 184 while the quadrature component thereof is controlled by a 90 degree phase shifter 178 and a bipolar attenuator 184. The outputs from these attenuators 184, 181 are combined by a combiner 187 for output in a manner similar to the above. Respective outputs from said combiners 185, 186, 187 are combined by a combiner 188 for output. The received signal on the auxiliary antenna 4 side is divided by a divider 96 and is inputted at a combiner 95 via a delay circuit 171′ and a divider 110 to be combined with the output from the combiner 188. The delay circuit 171′ is to correct the delay time 1 X T which is identical to the central tap of the two-dimensional transversal filter 170. The two received signals inputted at the combiner 94 are converted to be in opposite phases but of the same amplitude to each other, and to have the same frequency characteristics. By combining both of them, the interference signal alone can be extracted. In the manner mentioned above, by using the two dimensional transversal filter 170, the frequency characteristic of the signal received by the main antenna 1 is aligned with that of the signal received by the auxiliary antenna 4, and by adding the two signals of which phases are opposite to each other but of which amplitudes are the same, it becomes possible to attenuate the main signal remarkably and to leave the interference signal component contained therein at a sufficiently high level. In order to control respective weights of the two-dimensional transversal filter 170, it is necessary to correlate the main signal which is still remaining after combination of the two signals or the interference signal with one of the main signals before combination, and weighting circuits (bipolar attenuators 179 through 184) are controlled in feed-back in a manner to minimize the amount of the main signal after combination or correlation. The operation will now be described in more specific and detailed manners. The output from the combiner 94 is divided by the divider 44 and phase-detected by a phase detector 111 by means of local frequency 13 reproduced by the main signal demodulator 12. The output from the detector is passed through a low-pass filter 112 to remove harmonic component and binarized by a decision circuit 113 with the clock signal 44 reproduced by the demodulator 12 to obtain binary interference signal a . The signal received by the auxiliary antenna 4 is divided by the divider 96 and inputted at the divider 110. One of the outputs from the divider 110 is inputted at the combiner 94 while the other output is supplied to a coherent quadrature phase detector 114 via a delay line τ 2 . The signal is phase-detected by phase detectors 117, 118 with the local frequency 13 reproduced by the demodulator 12. The detector output is removed of harmonic component by low-pass filters 119, 120. The outputs from these filters are binarized by decision circuits 121, 122 with the clock signal 44 reproduced by the demodulator 12. By these operation, binary main signal in-phase component a I and main signal quadrature component a Q are obtained. Binarized interference signal a , binarized main signal in-phase component a I and main signal quadrature component a Q are inputted at a transversal filter controller 190. Bipolar attenuators 179 through 184 of the transversal filter 170 are controlled with the following outputs from the transversal filter controller 190. C -1 (= X -1 + j Y -1 ) C 0 (= X 0 + j Y 0 ) C +1 (= X +1 + j Y +1 ) The transversal filter controller 190 may be that shown in FIG. 15. Description will now be given to a method to cancel the interference signal mixed within the main signal based on the interference signal obtained by the transversal filter 170. The extracted interference signal is passed first to the quadrature amplituede modulator 51 for adjustment in amplitude and phase in a manner to have them opposite in phase but the same in amplitude as the interference signal component mixed within the main signal. The interference signal is then combined with the main signal by the combiner 11 to eliminate the interference signal component from the received signal. The interference signal outputted from the divider 50 is inputted at the quadrature amplitude modulator 51 and is divided by a divider 52. One of the divided interference signals is inputted at the quadrature attenuator 55 which controls the in-phase component while the other is passed through the 90 degree phase shifter 53, and inputted at a quadrature attenuator 54 which controls the quadrature component of the interference signal. The outputs from both bipolar attenuators 54, 55 are combined by the combiner 56 and the output thereof is supplied to the combiner 11. The combiner 11 combines the main signal which has been outputted from the combiner 90 for combining two received signals (main signals) and which has been passed through the delay line τ 1 with the interference signal outputted from the combiner 56 for output. The method for controlling the quadrature amplitude modulator 51 will now be described. The interference signal outputted from the combiner 94 is passed through the combiners 44, 50, phase-detected by the phase detector 28 by means of the local frequency 13 reproduced by the demodulator 12, passed through a low-pass filter 30 to remove harmonic component and binarized by a decision circuit 32. This produces binary interference signal a ′. The binarization by the decision circuit 31 is conducted with the clock signal 44 reproduced by the demodulator 12. The output from the combiner 11, on the other hand is inputted at the demodulator 12, phase-detected by phase detectors 15, 16 by means of the local frequency 13, passed through the low-pass filters 17, 18 to remove harmonic component, and taken out as baseband signals of the in-phase and quadrature phase components. The baseband signals of the in-phase and quadrature phase components are supplied to error signal detectors 19, 20 for detecting the interference signal remaining within the received signal, and are taken out as error signals of the in-phase component e I and of the quadrature phase component e Q . Thus obtained interference signal a ′ and error signals e I and e Q are inputted respectively at the correlation detector 45. FIG. 36 shows the structure of the circuit 45. The circuit has the same structure as the correlation detector 45 shown in relation to the embodiment 3 in FIG. 6. More particularly, the correlation detector 45 multiplies the interference signal a ′ with the error signal e I which is in the same phase as the above by means of the exclusive OR 35, detects the correlation by integrating it by the integrator 43, and outputs the control signal x ′. The in-phase bipolar attenuator 55 is controlled with this signal. Similarly, the interference signal a ′ is multiplied with the error signal e Q which is in phase perpendicular thereto by the exclusive OR 37 and the output thereof is integrated by the integrator 42 for detecting their correlation. The output y ′ from the integrator 42 is used to control the quadrature bipolar attenuator 54 of the quadrature amplitude modulator 51. In this embodiment, even if the digital radio system having plural receiver antennas inevitably receives not only the main signal but the interference signal, and the main signals received through different antennas have different frequency characteristics, it becomes possible to extract the interference signal alone out of the received main signals and automatically cancel the interference component mixed therein based on the interference signal. For practical application, it is necessary to adjust relative timings by delay lines τ 1 , τ 2 , to maximize the effect of cancellation. It is also necessary to align relative delay times at the inputs of the combiner 94 which combines the two received signals. The number of taps at the transversal filter in this embodiment is three, but if the number is increased, the precision for interference signal extraction can be further enhanced. Embodiment 30 In the Embodiemnt 29 above, the amplitude and phase of interference signal are adjusted by a quadrature amplitude modulator 51 having a single tap for the purpose of cancelling the interference component mixed in the main signal when a transversal filter having plural tap delay lines is used, the circuit which achieves sufficient effect for cancelling interference is realized even if the interference signal is a wide band signal and has frequency characteristics. The embodiment 30 realizes such a circuit. FIG. 37 is a view to show the structure of this embodiment wherein the interference signal outputted from the combiner 50 is supplied to the combiner 11 via a transversal filter 210. FIG. 38 is a block diagram to show the transversal filter 210 in details. This transversal filter 210 differs from the two-dimensional transversal filter 170 of the embodiment 29 in that 90 degree phase shifters 176, 177, 178 provided at each tap for controlling the quadrature component are replaced by 90 degree dividers 213, 214, 215. These dividers 213, 214, 215 are connected at their outputs with bipolar attenuators 219 and 222, 220 and 223, 221 and 224. The signal inputted at the divider 213 is supplied to the divider 214 via the delay circuit 211, as well as to the bipolar attenuators 219, 222 in the phases different by 90 degrees from each other. The signal inputted at the divider 214 is supplied to the divider 215 via the delay circuit 212 as well as to bipolar attenuators 220, 223 in the phases different from each other by 90 degrees. The signal inputted at the divider 215 is supplied to the bipolar attenuators 221, 224 in the phases different from each other 90 degrees. The bipolar attenuators 219 through 224 are controlled and weighted with the following respective output signals of the transversal filter controller 230 which is identical in structure to the transversal filter controller 19 shown in FIG. 15. C -1′ (= X -1′ + j Y -1′ ) C 0′ (= X 0′ + j Y 0′ ) C +1′ (= X +1′ + j Y +1′ ) The outputs from the bipolar attenuators 219, 220, 221 are combined by the combiner 226, those from the bipolar attenuators 222, 223, 224 by the combiner 225, and those from the combiners 225, 226 by the combiners 228, and outputted from the transversal filter 210. Embodiment 31 FIG. 39 is a block diagram to show the 31st embodiment according to this invention. This embodiment differs from the embodiment 29 shown in FIG. 35 in that the error signal detectors 19, 20 and the decision circuits 32, 113, 121, 122 are replaced with A/D converters 150 through 155. For instance, if the main signal is a 16QAM signal, the demodulated baseband signal is quarternary. If this signal is inputted, and an A/D converter of the output of 3 bits or more is used, the most significant two bits of the digital outputs of the converter denote the decision signals, and the third bit from the m.s.b. the error signal as indicated in the above table. By taking out the signal at the third bit, the remaining interference component can be extracted as the error signal. Embodiment 32 In the embodiments 29 through 31 explained hereinabove, digital signals binarized by the decision circuits 31, 32, 121, 122 or the A/D converters 152 through 155 are described as the signals to be inputted at the correlation detector 45 and the transversal filter controllers 190, 230. However, the circuit for binarization is not absolutely necessary. In this embodiment, the exclusive ORs in the correlation detector 45 and the transversal filter controller 190 are replaced with analog multipliers. Embodiment 32 shown in FIG. 40 realizes this circuit. Embodiment 33 FIG. 41 is a block diagram to show the 33rd embodiment of this invention. This embodiment differs from the embodiment 29 shown in FIG. 35 in that the phase detector 28, low-pass filter 30, the decision circuit 32 and the phase detector 111, the low-pass filter 112 and the decision circuit 113 are combined and replaced with one line. The correlation detector 45 and the transversal filter controller 190 are identical to those used in the embodiment 29. This embodiment is advantageous as it can simplify the circuit structure. Embodiment 34 FIG. 42 is a block diagram to show the 34th embodiment of this invention. This embodiment has a circuit structure wherein the phase detector 27 and the coherent quadrature phase detector 114 of embodiment 33 in FIG. 41 are switched in position. More particularly, the phase detector 28, the low-pass filter 30 and the decision circuit 32 are replaced with the coherent quadrature phase detector 25 while the coherent quadrature phase detector 114 is replaced with the phase detector 118, the low-pass filter 120, and the decision circuit 122. The method to detect correlation with the outputs from the demodulator 12 and the coherent quadrature phase detector 25 and to control the quadrature amplitude modulator 51 will be described below. From the error signal detectors 19, 20 of the demodulator 12 are taken out the error signal of in-phase component e I and the error signal of quadrature component e Q which are mixed within the main signal. The extracted interference signal is inputted at the coherent quadrature phase detector 25, detected and binarized with the clock signal 44 and the local frequency 13 reproduced by the demodulator 12, and then taken out as the binary in-phase component of interference signal a I and the binary quadrature component of interference signal a Q (as the main signal has been erased, the interference signal becomes dominant.) Thus obtained error signals e I and e Q and interference signals a I , a Q are inputted at the correlation detector 33 for correlation detection. FIG. 43 shows an embodiment of the correlation detector 33. In this circuit, the error signal of the in-phase component e I and the interference signal of the in-phase component a I are passed through an exclusive OR 35 while the error signal of the quadrature phase component e Q and the interference signal of the quadrature phase component a Q are passed through the exclusive OR 34 for multiplication. The outputs thereof are added in analog at resistances 38, 39 and integrated at the integrator 43. The bipolar attenuator 55 is controlled with the output x′ from the integrator 43 as it is related to the in-phase component of the quadrature amplitude modulator 51. Similarly, the error signal of the in-phase component e I and the interference signal of the quadrature phase component a Q are passed through the exclusive OR 36′ while the error signal of the quadrature phase component e Q and the interference signal of the in-phase component a I are passed through the exclusive OR 37 for multiplication. The outputs are added in analog by resistances 40, 41, and integrated by the integrator 42. The bipolar attenuator 54 is controlled with the output y′ from the integrator 42 as it is related to the quadrature phase component of the quadrature amplitude modulator 51. Embodiment 35 FIG. 44 is a block diagram to show the 35th embodiment of this invention. This embodiment differs from the embodiment 34 in that the phase detector 110 for interference signal extraction, the low-pass filter 120, and the decision circuit 122 are replaced with a coherent quadrature phase detector 114. This increases the circuit scale, but remarkably enhances control performance. For instance, when this embodiment circuit is used for controlling a bipolar attenuator 182 of the two-dimensional transversal filter 170 with control signal X -1 see FIG. 15), the control is conducted by adding in analog by means of resistances the result of multiplication of the polarity signal a I of the in-phase component and the signal obtained by delaying the error signal e I by 1 X T using an exclusive OR and the result of multiplication of a polarity signal a Q of the quadrature phase component and the signal obtained by delaying the error signal e Q by 1 X T using an exclusive OR, integrating the result of the addition by an integrator and using the output X -1 from the integrator for the control. Embodiment 36 FIG. 45 is a block diagram to show the 36th embodiment of this invention. The main signals received by the main antenna 1 and an auxiliary antenna 4 are passed through a bandpass filter 2, converted in frequency into IF band by a frequency converter 3 with local frequency oscillated from a local oscillator 5. A phase shifter 240 inserted between the oscillator 5 and the converter 3 is for varying the combined phase of the main signals received by the main and auxiliary antennas 1, 4 and generally is controlled to maximize the received power after combination. The received signals by the main and auxiliary antennas 1, 4 are combined by a combiner 90. The combined signals are inputted at phase detectors 15, 16. The phase detector 16 is further inputted with the local frequency 13 reproduced from the main signal. The phase detector 15 is inputted with the signal with the phase shifted from the local frequency by 90 degrees by a phase shifter 14. Therefore, a coherent quadrature phase detector is formed by the phase shifter 14 and the phase detectors 15, 16. The coherent quadrature phase detector divides the combined signal outputted from the combiner 90 into in-phase and quadrature phase components by the local frequency 13. The signal received by the main antenna 1 is inputted at the phase detectors 242, 243. The local frequency 13 is also inputted at the phase detector 243 while the signal obtained by shifting the phase of the local frequency 13 by 90 degrees by the phase shifter 242 is inputted at the phase detector 242. A coherent quadrature detector comprising the phase shifter 241 and the phase detectors 242, 243 divides the signal received by the main antenna 1 into in-phase and quadrature phase components by the local frequency 13. The signal received by the auxiliary antenna 4, on the other hand, is inputted at the phase detectors 252, 253. The phase detector 253 is inputted with the local frequency 13 while the phase detector 252 is inputted with the signal having the phase shifted by 90 degrees from the phase of the local frequency 13 by the phase shifter 251. A coherent quadrature phase detector comprising the phase shifter 251 and the phase detectors 252, 253 divides the signal received by the auxiliary antenna 4 into in-phase and quadrature phase components by the local frequency. The in-phase and quadrature phase components thus obtained are respectively passed through the phase detectors 15, 16, 242, 243, 252, 253, and the low-pass filters 17, 18, 244, 245, 254, 255 in order to remove harmonic components, supplied at A/D converters 70, 71, 246, 247, 256, 257 and digitized. The A/D converters 70, 71, 246, 247, 256, 257 use the clock signal 44 reproduced from the main signal as sampling signal. Description will now be given to the circuit structure wherein the in-phase and the quadrature phase components of the main signal outputted from the A/D converters 70, 71, 246, 247, 256, 257 are removed of the main signal component to obtain the interference signal. The output signals from the A/D converter 256 are inputted at bipolar attenuators 260, 262 and the output therefrom is added to the outputs from the A/D converters 247, 246 by full-adders 270, 272. Similarly, the output signals from the A/D converter 257 are inputted at bipolar attenuators 261, 263 and the output therefrom is added to the output from the full-adders 270, 272 by full-adders 271, 273. The main signal component of the in-phase and the quadrature phase components is cancelled from the outputs from the full-adders 271, 273, to provide signals a I and a Q comprising only interference signal components. These interference signals a I , a Q , however, are dominated by the main signal component at the time the interference cancellation control starts, but the interference signal component increases when the control proceeds into the normal condition. Based on these interference signals a I and a Q , the interference signal component mixed within the main signal is erased. For this reason, the output signal from the full-adder 273 or the interference signal a Q of the quadrature phase component is inputted at the variable combiners 264, 266, and the outputs from the variable combiners 264, 266 and the outouts from the A/D converters 71, 70 are added by the full-adders 274, 276. The signal outputted from the full-adder 271 or the interference signal a I of the in-phase component is inputted at the variable combiners 265, 267 and the outputs from the full-adders 274, 276 are addded by the full-adders 275, 277. This makes the cancellation signal which is in opposite phase to but in the same amplitude as the interference component mixed within the main signal line. If this cancellation signal is added to the interference component still remaining in the main signal line, the interference component can be removed. Specific description will now be offered for the control method of variable combiners 260 through 267. It is necessary to give the main signal received by the main antenna 1 an opposite phase to but the same amplitude as the main signal received by the auxiliary antenna 4 when they are added. The baseband signals of the in-phase and the quadrature phase components received from respectively received signals are passed to the variable combiners 260 through 263 for addition. The outputs a I , a Q of the full-adders 271, 273 must be controlled in a manner to minimize the main signal component. The main signal after addition is correlated with the output signal from either the auxiliary antenna 4 or the main antenna 1 before addition and the variable combiners 260 through 263 are controlled in feed-back to minimize the correlation therebetween by the combiner controller 281. In this embodiment, correlation is detected between the polarity signals a Q , a I of the interference signal and the polarity signals a r , a Ir of the main signal received by the auxiliary antenna 4. Based on the interference signal of the in-phase and the quadrature phase components, the interference component mixed within the main signal is removed by controlling the combiners 264 through 267. The output from the full-adders 275, 277 or the error signals e I , e Q obtained from the main signal output after interference cancellation and the outputs from the full-adders 271, 273 or the in-phase and quadrature phase components of the interference signal are inputted at the combiner controller 280 for correlation detection. They are controlled to minimize the correlation by feed-back. As shown in the table, the error signals e I , e Q may be obtained from the third from the m.s.b. when the signal is, for instance, 16QAM. In this embodiment, only the polarity signals a Q , a I of the interference signal are used for correlation detection. FIG. 46 is a block diagram to show an embodiment of variable combiner controllers 280, 281. Error signals e Q , e I and polarity signals a Q , a I , a Qr , a Ir are multiplied by four exclusive ORs 282, integrated by the integrator 283, and outputted as control signals C 1 through C 4 , and C r1 through C r4 . The variable combiners 264 through 267, and 260 through 263 are controlled respectively. For instance, the combiner 260 is controlled by detecting correlation between the polarity signal a Qr of the main signal quadrature component received by the auxiliary antenna 4, and the polarity signal a I of the interference signal in-phase component, and feeding back the resultant control signal C rI to the combiner 260. Other variable combiners 261 through 267 are controlled by control signals C r2 through C r4 and C 1 through C 4 obtained by the correlation detection corresponding thereto. This embodiment is described by showing a case wherein the polarity signals a I , a Q of the interference siganls outputted from the full-adders 271, 273 and the polarity signals a Qr , a Ir of the main siganls outputted from the A/D converters 256, 257 are used as the input signals of the circuit 281. But they do not necessarily have to be polarity signals; they may be inputs of multiple bits. In such a case, the combiner controllers 280, 281 may have multiple bit multipliers instead of an exclusive OR 282. Embodiment 37 FIG. 47 is a block diagram to show the 37th embodiment of this invention. This embodiment is characterized in that the bipolar attenuators 260 through 267 of the embodiment 36 are replaced with bipolar attenuators 290 through 297 comprising transversal filters including delay lines with plural taps (three taps in this embodiment). An embodiment of the bipolar attenuators 290 through 297 is shown in FIG. 48. The bipolar attenuator comprises a delay line with taps 300, bipolar variable attenuators 301 through 303 connected to these taps, and an adder which adds the outputs from the attenuators 301 through 303 and is structured so that the signal inputted at the delay line 300 is outputted from the adder 304 after being adjusted in amplitude. FIGs 49 and 50 are block diagrams to show an embodiment of bipolar attenuator controllers 298, 299. Time is synchronized by the delay line 300 between the error signals e Q , e I of the main signal and the polarity signals a Q , a I of the interference signal in the case of the circuit 298, and between the polarity signals a Qr , a Ir of the received signal by the auxiliary antenna 4 and the polarity signals a Q , a I of the interference signal in the case of the circuit 299; correlation is detected by the exclusive OR 282, and inputted for integration by the integrator 283. With the output therefrom, the bipolar attenuators 294 through 297 and 290 through 293 are controlled. By using plural weighting circuits for the bipolar attenuators 290 through 297, a higher effect in cancellation than the embodiment 36 can be obtained even when the main signal or the interference signal has frequency characteristic. The delay line τ 1 shown in FIG. 47 is for adjusting timings so that the signals passing through the phase detectors 15, 16 and the signals passing through the phase detectors 242, 243 are added in synchronization by the full-adders 274 through 277. Similarly, the delay line τ 2 is for adjusting timings so that the signals passing through the phase detector 242, and the signals passing through the phase detectors 252, 253 are added in synchronization by the full-adders 270 through 273. Embodiment 38 The baseband signals are converted from analog to digital so that interference cancellation is conducted by digital circuits in the above two embodiments 36 and 37. The embodiment 38 shown in FIG. 51, however, conducts interference cancellation with analog circuits. The main and interference signals received by the main and auxiliary antennas 1 and 4 are passed through a bandpass filter 2, and frequency-converted into IF band by a converter 3 using the oscillator 7. The phase shifter 240 inserted between the local oscillator 7 and the converter 3 is for varying the combined phase of the main signals received by the main auxiliary antennas 1, 4. The signals received by the main and auxiliary antennas 1, 4 are combined by the combiner 90. The combined signal is inputted at a coherent quadrature phase detector comprising a phase shifter 14, and phase detectors 15, 16. The detector divides the combined signal into the in-phase component and the quadrature phase component by the local frequency reproduced from the main signal. The received signal from the main antenna is inputted also at a coherent quadrature phase detector comprising a phase shifter 241 and phase detectos 242, 243, and divided into the in-phase component and the quadrature phase component by local frequency 13. The signal received by the auxiliary antenna 4 is inputted at a coherent quadrature phase detector comprising a phase shifter 251, and phase detectors 252, 253, and divided into the in-phase component and the quadrature component by the local frequency 13. The outputs from phase detectors 15, 16, 242, 243, 252, 253 are removed of the harmonic component low-pass filters 17, 18, 244, 245, 254, 255. The signal outputted from the low-pass filter 254 is inputted at the bipolar attenuator 310, 312, and the outputs from the bipolar attenuator 310,312 and the outputs from the low-pass filters 245, 244 are added by the adders 320, 322. Further, the output signals from the low-pass filter 255 is inputted at bipolar attenuators 311, 313, and the outputs therefrom are added to the output from the adders 320, 322 by adders 321, 323. These operation extracts the interference signal mixed within the main signal. The output siganl from the adder 323 is inputted at the bipolar attenuators 314, 316, and the output from the bipolar attenuators 314, 316 are added to the outputs from the low-pass filters 18, 17 by the adders 324, 326. The output signal from the adder 321 is inputted at thebipolar attenuators 315, 317, and the outputs therefrom are added to the outputs from the adders 324, 326 by the adders 325, 327. This operation cancels the interference signal component mixed within the main signal. The method to control the bipolar attenuators 310 though 317 will be described below. The outputs from the adders 327, 325 are inputted at error signal detectors 330, 331 while the output from the adders 323, 321 and the outputs from the low-pass filters 254, 255 are respectively inputted at binary decision circuits 332 through 335 to generate error signals e Q , e I , the polarity signals of interference signal a Q , a I , and the polarity signals a Qr , a Ir of main signal. Out of these signals, the error signals e Q , e I and the polarity signals a Q , a I of interference signal are inputted at the bipolar attenuator controller 280, while the polarity siganls a Q , a I of the interference signal and the polarity signals a r , a Ir of the main signal are inputted at the bipolar attenuator controller 281. The bipolar attenuators314 through 317 and 310 through 313 are controlled with the outputs from the controllers 280, 281. The error signal detectors 330, 331 and the binary decision circuits 332 through 335 are operated on the clock signal 44 reproduced from the main signal. In this embodiment, the output signals from the adders 321, 323 and the low-pass filters 254, 255 are binarized by the binary decision circuits 332 through 335 as the signals to be inputted at the controllers 280, 281. The binarizing process is not always necessary. If not binarized, digital multipliers (exclusive ORs) within the circuits 280, 281 are replaced with analog multipliers. Embodiment 39 FIG. 52 is a block diagram to show the 39th embodiment of this invention. This emboidment differs from the embodiment 38 shown in FIG. 51 in that the bipolar attenuators 310 through 317 are replaced by bipolar attenuators 290 through 297 comprising transversal filters including delay lines with plural taps (three taps in this embodiment). The bipolar attenuators 290 through 297 have the structures identical to those shown in FIG. 48. Embodiment 40 FIG. 53 is a block diagram to show the 40th embodiment of the interference cancellation circuit according to this invention. This embodiment differs from the embodiment 37 in that the sampling signals for the A/D converters 246, 247, 256, 257 are the signals obtained by increasing by twofold the frequency of the clock signal 44 reproduced from the main signal by a multiplier 352. FIG. 54 is a circuit diagram to show an embodiment of the bipolar attenuator wherein the circuit comprises delay lines with three taps. The bipolar attenuator shown differs from that shown in FIG. 48 in that the circuit 300 in FIG. 48 is replaced with a delay circuit 305 with taps of delay time of T/2. More particularly, the circuit comprises a delay circuit 305 with taps bipolar attenuators 301 through 303 connected to each tap, and an adder 304 which adds the outputs from the attenuators 301 through 303, and adjusts in amplitude the input signal at the circuit 305, and outputs it from the adder 304. FIGs. 55 and 56 are circuit diagrams to show embodiments of bipolar attenuator controllers 280, 281 suitable for this embodiment circuit. The error signals e Q , e I of the main signal, the polarity signals a Q , a I , of the interference signal, or the polarity signals a Qr , a Ir , a Q , a I of the main signal received by the auxiliary antenna 4 are synchronized by a delay circuit 390 of the delay time of T/2 or a delay circuit 391 of the delay time of T, correlated by an exclusive OR 282, and inputted at an integrator 283. The output therefrom is used to control the bipolar attenuators. In a manner described above, even if the main signal and the interference signal have frequency characteristics, significant cancellation effect is achieved if using plural weighting circuits are used for the bipolar attenuators. FIG. 57 is a view to show the effect of this invention. The embodiment 20 is used as an example to explain the effect. Assuming that the desired signal D is 16QAM, and undesired signal U is FM signal in reception, the ratio in signal intensity is D/U = 8.5 dB in the signals received by the antennas 1 and 4. These signals were controlled in amplitude and phase by a controller 93 and combined to each other in phase opposite to but the same in amplitude by a combiner 94. The signal of D 0 /U 0 = -18.8 dB was outputted from the combiner 94. Therefore, the operation of the controller 93 obtained an improvement in D i /U i (D i /U i - D 0 /U 0 )in the level of about 27 dB. The output from the combiner 94 is inputted at the combiner 11 in the amplitude identical to that of FM signal mixed within the output from the combiner 90 and antiphase thereto. As a result, the signal from which FM signal has been cancelled is outputted from the combiner 11. In the figures, the waveforms of the output signals are shown for the case where the controllers 93 and 95 are actuated, and for the case where they are suspended. FIG. 58 shows the eye patterns when the controllers 93 and 95 are actuated and when they are suspended. As is obvious from the figure, the effect of interference cancellation is most significant when the controllers 93, 95 are in operation. FIG. 59 is a view to show the improvement made by this invention. The characteristics are substantially the same when the controllers 93, 95 are turned OFF or when the controller 93 alone is turned OFF. When the both controllers 93, 95 are turned ON, an improvement equivalent to about 10 dB was achieved to demonstrate the effectiveness of this invention.
