Patent ID: 11539570

Abstract:
The disclosure relates to technology for compensating for I/Q imbalance. An apparatus includes I-path circuitry having a first analog filter configured to filter an I-path signal and Q-path circuitry having a second analog filter configured to filter a Q-path signal. An I/Q imbalance compensation circuit of the apparatus is configured to process digital versions of the I-path signal and the Q-path signal to compensate for mismatch between the I-path circuitry and the Q-path circuitry. A first circuit of the apparatus is configured to apply a coarse adjustment to at least one of the first analog filter or the second analog filter to reduce an initial mismatch between the I-path circuitry and the Q-path circuitry. The first circuit is configured to operate the I/Q imbalance compensation circuit to compensate for a residual mismatch between the I-path circuitry and the Q-path circuitry with the coarse adjustment applied.
