Abstract :
A new low cost ghost cancellation system is being developed for the consumer market that uses the high energy US reference signal to provide excellent cancellation of ghosts. The complete system consists of 3 ICs. This paper describes how these ICs work together to cancel ghosts without the need for micro-controllers, DSPs, or external control systems
