Abstract
Full-duplex (FD) communication systems allow for increased spectral efficiency but require effective self-interference cancellation (SIC) techniques to enable the proper reception of the signal of interest. The underlying idea of digital SIC is to estimate the self-interference (SI) channel based on the received signal and the known transmitted waveform. This is a challenging task since the SI channel involves, especially for mass-market FD transceivers, many nonlinear distortions produced by the impairments of the analog components from the receiving and transmitting chains. Hence, this paper first analyzes the power of the SI components under practical conditions and focuses on the most significant one, which is proven to be produced by the I/Q mixer imbalance. Then, a widely-linear digital SIC approach is adopted, which simultaneously deals with the direct SI and its image component caused by the I/Q imbalance. Finally, the performances achieved by linear and widely-linear SIC approaches are evaluated and compared using an experimental FD platform relying on software-defined radio technology and GNU Radio. Moreover, the considered experimental framework allows us to set different image rejection ratios for the transmission path I/Q mixer and to study its influence on the SIC capability of the discussed approaches.
