Is Sampling Jitter a Problem in Full-Duplex Radio Transceivers or Not?

In this paper, the sampling jitter effect on self- interference cancellation in full-duplex radio transceiver is studied. The goal is to find if sampling jitter is a problem or not in transceivers utilizing full-duplex radio technology, and also to study how the effects of the sampling jitter can be mitigated. In the paper, first, full-duplex transceiver model is described with sampling jitter, and then the corresponding signal model is derived. After this, a technique for sampling jitter mitigation as part of the digital linear cancellation of the self-interference is proposed. Finally, the initial question whether the sampling jitter is a problem or not is answered and the mitigation performance of the proposed technique is studied with extensive computer simulations.
