Abstract

See full text

Methods, circuits, and apparatus for calibrating an in-phase and quadrature (IQ) imbalance of a communication signal including an in-phase component and a quadrature component in a communication apparatus, the method including determining whether to calibrate the IQ imbalance of the communication signal in the communication apparatus; selecting, in response to a determination to calibrate the IQ imbalance of the communication signal, at least one of an amplitude calibration or a phase calibration; controlling, in accordance with the selected amplitude calibration or phase calibration, at least one of an in-phase delay circuit or a quadrature delay circuit to adjust a pulse of at least one of a first LO signal or a second LO signal to thereby generate at least one pulse-adjusted LO signal; and multiplying the at least one pulse-adjusted LO signal with the communication signal to thereby calibrate the IQ imbalance.
