    Abstract: A digital down converter (DDC) that improves efficiency by taking advantage of the periodicity of the coarse mixing process and the memory inherent in the convolution operation performed by decimation filters. In embodiments, the DDC filters and decimates a received signal to generate subfilter outputs and coarse mixes the subfilter outputs for each frequency band of interest. Accordingly, the DDC eliminates the need for separate decimation filters for each of the in-phase (I-phase) and quadrature (Q-phase) signals of each frequency band. In some embodiments, for each frequency band, the DDC combines the subfilter outputs into partial sums for each of the I- and Q-phases. In some of those embodiments, the coarse mixing operation is performed by multiplying the partial sums by real multiplicands and performing a simple post-rotation operation. In those embodiments, the DDC significantly reduces the number of multiplication operations required to perform the coarse mixing process.

    Abstract: IQ mismatch correction for analog chain IQ mismatch impairments is based on a two-filter architecture. In either RX or TX, an IQmc mismatch corrector (digital chain) filters I and Q digital signals, and includes an I-path to receive the I signal, and a Q-path to receive the Q signal, and is configured with two filters: an in-path filter to filter either the I signal or the Q signal received in the same path; and a cross-path filter to filter either the I signal or the Q signal received in the other path. The IQmc mismatch corrector can include: an I-path delay element to provide a delay to the I signal corresponding to a delay through either the in-path filter or the cross-path filter; and a Q-path delay element to provide a delay to the Q signal corresponding to a delay through either the in-path filter or the cross-path filter.
