description In-band full-duplex (IBFD) systems can double the spectral efficiency by enabling simultaneous transmission and reception within the same band. Key to realizing full-duplex radios is the cancellation of the self-interference (SI) that couples from the transmitting antenna into the receiving path. This is done by introducing a self-interference cancellations (SIC) circuit to significantly reduce the coupled transmit signal and avoid receiver&#x2019;s desensitization. Additionally, SI suppression becomes more challenging across broader bandwidths. This paper presents a novel, wideband, and low profile SIC circuit based on a hybrid Finite Impulse Response (FIR) and resonator filter topology. The latter is optimized to provide an average of 22dB cancellation across 800MHz in the L-band. Conventional, SIC circuits require a filter bank with at least two FIR filters to achieve such a wide bandwidth. Conversely, our FIR resonator design is low profile with a circuit size nearly half of that of a filter bank. Simulations show a minimum cancellation of 15dB and a maximum cancellation of 45dB. A prototype was fabricated and tested, showing an average of <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\sim ~20$ </tex-math></inline-formula>dB cancellation which is in good agreement with our simulation. Further, measured results show a minimum cancellation of 15dB and maximum cancellation of 27dB.
