Abstract:
Methods and devices for streamlining phase and amplitude calibration and linearization in RF transceiver circuits including a plurality of switchable transmit and receive processing paths is presented. According to one aspect, switchable feedback paths are provided that can selectively feedback a portion of a transmitted RF signal or a test RF signal for use in the calibration. According to another aspect, the switchable feedback paths include combination of switches and couplers to selectively combine feedback from one or more of the switchable feedback paths. According to another aspect, the switchable feedback paths reuse portions of the receive paths of the plurality of switchable transmit and receive processing paths. The switchable feedback paths can be used to provide a combined feedback RF signal based on one or more transmitted RF signals that can be used as a digital pre-distortion feedback for linearization of the one or more transmitted RF signals.
