An on-channel repeater has a receiving antenna for receiving an RF signal
and a transmitting antenna for transmitting on the same frequency as the
input signal. An amplification path between the antennas provides
substantially linear processing and includes a combiner, a decorrelating
delay and a power amplifier. A filter estimator receives a reference
signal and the combiner output and generates a plurality of control
coefficients which are applied to an adaptive filter which filters the
reference signal accordingly and applies its output to the combiner. The
reference signal is derived not from the output of the decorrelating
delay but rather from the output antenna after the power amplifier. Where
there is an adjacent transmitter generating potentially interfering
signals, the transmitter output is coupled to the same transmitter
antenna.
