In order to eliminate the interference of the transmitted signal on the received signal, time-division multiplexing or frequency division multiplexing is usually used to transmit or receive the signal. The way, because of the sacrifice of time or frequency resources, the communication efficiency is reduced.

In the prior art, self-interference cancellation is performed by using a circuit with a circulator, and the volume of the circulator is too large to be integrated into the chip, resulting in an excessive volume of the self-interference cancellation device.
