    Abstract: A closed loop transmitter (Tx) calibration system is disclosed. The closed loop Tx calibration system comprises a transmitter circuit configured to generate a Tx output signal at a Tx output frequency based on a Tx local oscillator (LO) signal. The closed loop Tx calibration system further comprises a loop back (LPBK) receiver circuit coupled to the transmitter circuit and configured to downconvert the Tx output signal at the Tx output frequency to form an LPBK baseband signal at an LPBK intermediate frequency (IF), based on an LPBK LO signal. In some embodiments, the LPBK IF frequency is different from zero. In some embodiments, the closed loop Tx calibration system further comprises an LO generation circuit configured to generate the Tx LO signal and the LPBK LO signal from a single phase locked loop (PLL) source, based on utilizing a digital to time converter (DTC) circuit.
