20140241410 | IQ Baseband Matching Calibration Technique - The first and second outputs of a signal generation system are coupled to the first and second inputs of a signal digitizing system via respective electrical conductors. A controller directs the generation system to generate a first calibration signal, and the digitizing system responsively captures a first set of vector samples. The conductors are then reconfigured so they connect the first and second outputs of the generation system respectively to the second and first inputs of the digitization system. The controller then directs the generation system to generate a second calibration signal, and the digitizing system responsively captures a second set of vector samples. The controller or other processing agent computes gain and/or phase impairments using the first and second vector sample sets. Digital filter parameters may be computed based on the computed impairment(s), and used to correct the impairment(s) of the generation system and/or the digitizing system. | 08-28-2014 |
20140247902 | Correction of I/Q Impairments In Transmitters and Receivers - Communication devices and associated methods for reducing I/Q impairments in signals used by the communication devices are described. A transmitter device may perform filtering (or matrix multiplication) on digital I and Q signals to pre-correct them before converting them into analog I and Q signals. The pre-correction may pre-compensate for I/Q impairments which have not been introduced yet, but which will subsequently be introduced during digital-to-analog conversion, I/Q modulation, or other processing that occurs to produce a transmission signal from the original digital I and Q signals. A receiver device may receive a transmission signal, produce digital I and Q signals from the received signal, and perform filtering on the digital I and Q signals to correct I/Q impairments at a plurality of frequency offsets. | 09-04-2014 |
