ABSTRACT:
An electronic article surveillance system includes a signal generator for generating an interrogation signal in an interrogation zone, an antenna which receives a signal present in the interrogation zone, and interference cancelling circuitry for cancelling interference components in the signal received by the antenna. The interference cancelling circuitry includes a hybrid interference component cancelling loop in which a digital interference estimate signal is formed and converted into an analog estimate signal, and the analog estimate signal is subtracted from an input analog signal. The resulting difference signal is processed with a hybrid automatic gain control loop. A digitized signal, formed from the resulting difference signal, is subjected to digital interference cancellation processes in addition to the hybrid interference component cancellation process. Each of the digital interference cancellation processing and the hybrid interference component cancellation loop entails performing a respective polyphase decomposition of a digital input signal, estimating a mean value of each of the resulting subsequences, and combining the estimated mean values to form an interference component estimate signal. An input sample window provided for a comb-filtering stage is adjusted in phase relative to the cycle of the interrogation signal to compensate for changes in phase of the marker signal to be detected.
