The present invention provides a processing module operable to produce an
improved channel impulse response. This process involves initially
estimating the channel impulse response. This result is based on and
combined with a known sequences such as that provided by training
sequences of the midamble within RF bursts. From this combination, it is
possible to produce an estimated signal from a convolution of the channel
impulse response and midamble. The estimated signal may be cancelled or
subtracted from the received signal to produce a clearer image of the
disturber signal. A blind data recovery performed upon the disturber
signal. The recovered disturber data may be used as a reference for
disturber channel estimation in order to produce a disturber channel
impulse response. With the estimated disturber channel impulse response
and the recovered disturber data, an estimated disturber signal may be
reconstructed and subtracted from the received signal. This allows the
cancellation of the estimated disturber signal. Without a clear or
dominant disturber signal, a better representation of the main channel
impulse response may be produced. This results in more accurate
processing of the received RF bursts and improved receiver performance.
