Wideband high dynamic range surveillance

In recent radio-communication applications, receivers may be jammed by high power unwanted signals. In this case, the received signal can be considered as the sum of a strong unwanted signal and a very weak target signal. Even though the two signals don´t overlap in the frequency domain, the processing of the weak signal becomes very hard as it can be vanished at the output of the Analog Digital Converter. To avoid this scenario, many nonlinear circuits are proposed in the literature. Our study focuses on the separation of a weak and a very strong signals which are wideband signals and they are very close in the frequency domain. Several circuits have been implemented and simulated. The proposed circuit diagram is also presented. Finally, simulations are presented and discussed.
