Patent ID: 7706434

Claim:
A transceiver comprising: a receiver to receive an analog communication signal including interference caused by a deterministic interference source; a digital compensation circuit to generate a digital interference signal corresponding to the interference caused by the deterministic interference source; a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to convert the digital interference signal into a corresponding analog interference signal; a subtractor to subtract the analog interference signal from the analog communication signal; an analog filter to filter the analog communication signal having the analog interference signal subtracted therefrom; and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to sample the filtered analog communication signal having the analog interference signal subtracted therefrom, and generate a digital communication signal having substantially no interference contained therein, wherein the analog-to-digital converter comprises n interleaved analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), wherein at least one of the n interleaved analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) has M+k bits of resolution and the other ones of the n interleaved analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) have M bits of resolution, where n, M and k are positive integer numbers.
