1. A clock noise canceling circuit comprising:
a coupler for extracting a signal from a clock signal;
a filter for selecting a harmonic component of a preset frequency in the extraction signal from the coupler;
a phase shifter for phase inverting the harmonic component of the preset frequency from the filter;
an automatic gain control amplifier for amplifying the phase-inverted harmonic component from the phase shifter;
a combiner for combining the amplified component from the phase shifter with the clock signal to eliminate the harmonic component of the preset frequency from the clock signal;
a power detector for detecting a power level of the harmonic component of the preset frequency in an output signal of the combiner; and
a controller for controlling gain of the automatic gain control amplifier based on the power level of the harmonic component detected by the power detector, thereby canceling noises.
