Abstract: Method and apparatus for partial lens shading compensation are provided. An image area is divided, from the inside towards the outside of the image area, into several partial areas centered on an optical center of the image. When a target pixel is identified as being located in one of the partial areas, a corresponding compensation gain is determined according to the position of the target pixel with reference to the optical center. Another compensation gain is determined according to the position of the target pixel with reference to the optical center. A mixed compensation value is determined according to the compensation gains, so as to compensate the target pixel.

Abstract: A detector and a method for detecting IQ swap are provided. The detector includes a first correlator, a second correlator and a comparator. The first correlator calculates a first correlation value between a received symbol stream and a first conjugated symbol stream. The received symbol stream is generated by a transmission of a known symbol stream through a transmission channel. The first conjugated symbol stream is conjugate complex of the known symbol stream. The second correlator calculates a second correlation value between the first conjugated symbol stream and a second conjugated symbol stream. The second conjugated symbol stream is conjugate complex of the received symbol stream. In accordance with a relationship between the first and second correlation values, the comparator determines whether an in-phase component and a quadrature component in the received symbol stream have been swapped.
