The disclosed invention relates to a transceiver system configured to cancel RF second-order intermodulation distortion (IMD2) within a differential reception path. In some embodiments, the transceiver system has one or more common-mode attenuation elements that attenuate common-mode interferer signals within the differential reception path. The common-mode attenuation elements detect a common-mode interferer from one or more nodes within a transceiver system front-end. One or more properties of the detected common-mode interferer are adjusted and then fed into the differential reception path, where the adjusted common-mode signal attenuates the common-mode interferers. In other embodiments, the differential reception path has a tunable amplifying stage. The tunable amplifying stage has first and second amplifier elements that are independently operated to intentionally introduce an operating parameter mismatch between the elements. The intentional mismatch may be tuned to account for different nonlinear responses of the amplifier elements to mitigate IMD2 within the differential reception path.

An apparatus of a wireless device can include baseband processing circuitry configured to generate a digitized downconverted signal based on a received radio frequency (RF) signal. The apparatus can also include estimation circuitry configured to detect a blocker signal in the downconverted signal, the blocker signal having power that exceeds a pre-determined threshold, and map the detected blocker signal to a plurality of harmonic frequencies associated with two or more carrier frequencies. The apparatus can include reference signal generation circuitry configured to generate a reference signal based on the plurality of harmonic frequencies and the received RF signal. The apparatus can include cancellation circuitry configured to apply a pre-processed reference signal (based on the reference signal) to the digitized downconverted signal to remove distortion associated with the detected blocker signal. The digitized downconverted signal is a baseband signal or an intermediate frequency (IF) signal.

An RF-DAC cell is configured to generate an RF output signal based on a baseband signal, a first signal and a second signal. The first signal has a first duty cycle and toggles between first predefined amplitude values, and the second signal has a second duty cycle smaller than the first duty cycle and toggles between second predefined amplitude values.
