A method for signal conversion includes generating a complex digital signal, which includes digital In-phase (I) and Quadrature (Q) components, for conversion into respective analog I and Q components by first and second Digital-to-Analog Converters (DACs). A distortion generated by the DACS in the analog I and Q components is reduced by applying a phase rotation to the complex digital signal. After applying the phase rotation, the digital I and Q components of the complex digital signal are converted into the respective analog I and Q components using the first and second DACs.
