An input receives a radio frequency (RF) signal having an interfering component superimposed thereon. The RF signal is mixed with a local oscillator (LO) signal and down-converted to an intermediate frequency (IF) to generate a mixed signal which includes a frequency down-converted interfering component. The mixed signal is amplified by an amplifier to generate an output signal. A feedback loop processes the output signal to generate a correction signal for cancelling the frequency down-converted interfering component at the input of the amplifier. The feedback loop includes a low-pass filter and a amplification circuit which outputs the correction signal.

A system for correction of the phase error in in-phase and quadrature signals may include a first signal and a second signal. The system includes a first circuit and a second circuit, each circuit configured for receiving a square-wave input signal and supplying a respective square-wave output signal. The output signal is delayed with respect to the input signal and each circuit is configured in such a way that the propagation delay of a rising edge and the propagation delay of a falling edge between the input signal and the output signal are configurable. The first circuit is configured for receiving the first signal, and the second circuit is configured for receiving the second signal.

An oscillator includes a tunable resonant circuit having an inductance and a variable capacitance coupled between first and second nodes, and a set of capacitances selectively coupleable between the first and second nodes. An input control node receiving an input control signal is coupled to the variable capacitance and set of capacitances. The tunable resonant circuit is tunable based on the input control signal. A biasing circuit biases the tunable resonant circuit to generate a variable-frequency output signal between the first and second nodes. A voltage divider generates a set of different voltage thresholds, and a set of comparator circuits with hysteresis compares the input control signal to the set of different voltage thresholds to generate a set of control signals. The capacitances in the set of capacitances are selectively coupleable between the first and second nodes as a function of control signals in the set of control signals.
