In this work a new version of the cross-coupled phaselocked loop (CCPLL) interference canceller is presented. This detector consists of two phase-locked loop (PLL) demodulators interconnected in such a manner as to permit one PLL to lock onto and track the instantaneous frequency of the stronger received signal, while the other loop tracks and demodulates the weaker of two received signals. In addition, the receiver includes control loops to estimate the instantaneous amplitude of both received signals. This demodulator, therefore, has the capability of detecting both the desired and interfering signals, even though the interferer may be stronger than the desired signal and may share the same frequency band. The defining nonlinear differential equations for the CCPLL structure are derived and transient acquisition responses are obtained using computer-aided analysis. The CCPLL has numerous technological applications in suppressing a wide variety of cochannel and adjacent channel interferers.
