Abstract:
A system includes a local oscillator (LO) signal generation circuit, a receiver (RX) circuit, and a calibration circuit. The LO signal generation circuit generates an LO signal according to a reference clock, and includes an active oscillator that generates the reference clock. The active oscillator includes at least one active component. The RX circuit generates a processed RX signal by processing an RX input signal according to the LO signal. The calibration circuit checks a signal characteristic of the processed RX signal by detecting if a calibration tone exists within a receiver bandwidth, set a frequency calibration control output in response to the calibration tone being not found in the receiver bandwidth, and output the frequency calibration control output to the LO signal generation circuit. The LO signal generation circuit adjusts an LO frequency of the LO signal in response to the frequency calibration control output.
