    Abstract: A circuit includes a polar transmitter to generate a radio frequency output from amplitude and phase signal components. The polar transmitter includes an amplifier to combine amplitude and phase signal components. A processor is coupled to the polar transmitter to provide the amplitude and phase signal components. The processor includes: a digital modulation circuit to generate a modulated digital signal including in-phase and quadrature signal components and a correction circuit to calculate and apply a complex digital offset for local oscillator feedthrough of the amplifier. The complex digital offset includes an in-phase offset correction factor and a quadrature offset correction factor.

    Abstract: A method includes producing a plurality of TX LO signals by a first LO generator comprising a first frequency doubler and a first frequency divider, the first frequency doubler configured to receive a VCO signal having a first frequency and generate a first signal fed into the first frequency divider, the first signal having a second frequency that is twice the first frequency, producing a plurality of MRX LO signals by a second LO generator comprising a second frequency doubler and a second frequency divider, the second frequency doubler configured to receive the VCO signal and generate a second signal fed into the second frequency divider, the second signal having the second frequency, configuring the TX to operate at a first LO frequency equal to the second frequency, and configuring the MRX to operate at a second LO frequency equal to the first frequency through disabling the second frequency doubler.

    Abstract: Techniques are presented to improve the accuracy of and reduce the time required for calibration of an in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) transmission circuit. A measurement receiver measures the I/Q mismatch, where an RF phase shift is introduced to distinguish between the transmitter and measurement receiver I/Q mismatches. Rather than assuming an amount of introduced phase shift, a measurement is used to estimate the phase shift. This phase estimate is then used to determine and correct the I/Q mismatch in the transmitter and measurement receiver. An iterative process can be used to improve the I/Q correction factors. Using simple signal processing to measure the phase shift during calibration and to perform the image calibration calculations, the phase shifter requirements can be significantly relaxed, resulting in faster design time and reduced design area/cost. This approach results in reduced calibration time, thus contributing to reduced factory production time and enabling faster live mode image calibration.
