Mixer impairment correction based on volterra series
Abstract:
Techniques for compensating for signal impairments introduced by a mixer are discussed. One example system employing such techniques can include mixer predistortion circuitry configured to receive signal in-phase (I) and signal quadrature (Q) components of a signal and to generate a mixer predistortion signal based at least in part on the signal I and Q components, wherein the mixer predistortion signal compensates for nonlinearities caused by a mixer that upconverts the signal. Optionally, imbalance correction circuitry to compensate for gain and phase imbalance and/or skew correction circuitry to compensate for gain and phase skew can also be included.
