Abstract. Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) signals are widely used in modern information transmission systems. The quality of the receiver of such signals is significantly reduced if non-fluctuation interference is present in the communication channel. Narrow-band (harmonic) interference with the frequency of the useful signal is especially dangerous. The aim of this work is to develop and study an adaptive algorithm for suppressing such interference when receiving QAM signals. The algorithm is based on a non-recursive digital filter with adjustable weights. It uses known information about the shape of the phase pulse of the signal. The efficiency of the algorithm is investigated by the method of computer simulation. When checking the performance of the algorithm, the spectrum of the signal and noise, the amplitude-frequency characteristic of the adaptive filter and the change in its shape over time were estimated. For 4-QAM and 16-QAM signals, the dependences of the bit error probability on the intensity of harmonic interference and on the signal-to-noise ratio are obtained. It is shown that the adaptive filter effectively suppresses harmonic interference with a relative intensity µ > 0.2 when receiving a 4-QAM signal. The energy advantage is 2 dB or more. When receiving QAM signals with M ≥ 16, which also have amplitude modulation, the algorithm remains operational, but the efficiency of using this adaptive filter is much lower. The energy advantage does not exceed 0.5 dB.
Key words: quadrature amplitude modulation, harmonic interference, adaptive filter, bit error probability.
