Provided is an on-channel repeater, which removes feedback signals caused due to low isolation of transmission/reception antennas and a method thereof. The on-channel repeater includes : a receiver for receiving radio frequency (RF) signals and converting them into baseband signals; a subtractor for subtracting replicas of feedback signals from the baseband signals to thereby produce signals whose feedback signals are primarily removed; a demodulator for demodulating the signals which include the remaining feedback signals; an equalizer for equalizing the demodulated signals to thereby produce equalized signals; a transmitter for modulating the equalized signals to thereby produce modulated signals, converting the modulated signals into RF signals, and transmitting the RF signals in the air; a down-converter for down-converting the RF signals into baseband signals; and a replica generator for calculating the replicas based on the baseband signals of the down- converter and the signals without feedback signals of the subtractor, and feeding back them to the subtractor. |
