System simulation results of a digital six‐port receiver operating with an ideal six‐port (120° between Q i points), over two adjacent channels, are compared with a second six‐port receiver operating with a special six‐port circuit possessing 120° separation between Q i points in the receiving channel and 0° separation between Q i points in the adjacent channel. Theoretical analysis and simulation results are given on adjacent channel suppression using 64‐QAM modulation. The implementation of special six‐port ACS requires a six‐port wave structure with constant phase velocity in the receiving channel and reduced phase velocity in the adjacent channel to decrease the angles of the two adjacent Q i points of the six‐port by 120°. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
