Patent ID: 11223509

Abstract:
An in-phase and quadrature mismatch compensator for a quadrature transmitter includes a delay element, a complex-valued filter and an adder. The delay element receives an input transmit signal and outputs a delayed transmit signal. The complex-valued filter receives the input transmit signal and outputs a selected part of a filtered output transmit signal. The adder adds the delayed transmit signal and the selected part of the filtered output transmit signal and outputs a pre-compensated transmit signal. In one embodiment, the selected part of the filtered output transmit signal includes the real part of the complex-valued output transmit signal. In another embodiment, the selected part of the filtered output transmit signal includes the imaginary part of the complex-valued output transmit signal. Two transmit real-valued compensators are also disclosed that combine the in-phase and quadrature signals before being filtered.
