Abstract:
A receive frequency band interference protection system includes an input terminal for receiving an input signal and a dividing coupler coupled to the input terminal. The dividing coupler is configured to divide the input signal into a first signal and a second signal. The system further includes a first signal path and a second signal path. The first signal path includes a delay, and it is coupled to the dividing coupler and configured to receive the first signal. The second signal path is coupled to the dividing coupler and configured to receive the second signal. The second signal path includes an attenuator coupled to the dividing coupler and a predistortion linearizer coupled to the attenuator. The system further includes a combining coupler and an output terminal. The combining coupler is coupled to the first signal path and the second signal path.
