    Abstract: A wireless communication unit (300) comprises a linearised transmitter (325) having a forward path and a feedback path, respectively comprising at least one up- mixer and down-mixer, and forming two loops in quadrature. A phase training signal is applied to the at least one down-mixer in the feedback path in an open loop mode of operation to identify a loop phase adjustment to be applied. At least one of the two loops is switched to a closed loop mode of operation and the loop phase adjustment is applied to at least one up-mixer located in the forward path.

    Abstract: In accordance with the present invention there is those provided a Cartesian loop transmitter having an isolator eliminator circuitry comprising a set of low pass and band pass filters for each of an I- and Q-channels, root mean square detectors and a divider connected to a comparator are received by a microprocessor which controls attenuation setting. There is also provided a method of adjusting an output level of such transmitter. Said method comprises the step of measuring an on-channel signal level and a noise level and then calculating a ratio of said noise to said on-channel signal. If the ratio exceeds a defined threshold an attenuation of the input attenuators is increased.

    Abstract: A wireless communication unit ( 300 ) comprises a linearised transmitter ( 325 ) having a forward path, a power amplifier ( 324 ) and a feedback loop, operably coupled to the power amplifier ( 324 ) and the forward path. The feedback loop comprises a loop adjustment function ( 442 ), and the forward path and feedback loop comprise quadrature circuits. A processor ( 322 ) applies a first training signal to a first quadrature circuit loop for routing through the forward path, power amplifier and feedback path to determine at least one first parameter setting of the loop adjustment function ( 442 ). The processor ( 322 ) also applies a second training signal to a second quadrature circuit loop to determine at least a second parameter setting of the loop adjustment function ( 442 ).

    Abstract: A wireless receiver for receiving and demodulating a frequency modulated RF signal by direct conversion includes, a circuit 107,109,113 producing in-phase and quadrature components of the received signal, and an estimator 204 periodically estimating an imbalance in amplitude between the in-phase and quadrature components and applying a relative adjustment in amplitude to compensate for the detected imbalance 205. The estimator 204 (i) divides samples I i of the in-phase component I (t) and corresponding samples Q i of the quadrature component Q (t) into blocks; (ii) calculates for each block a block power value I n corresponding to a summation of values of squares of the samples I i and a block power value Q n corresponding to a summation of values of squares of the samples Q i; (iii) calculates from the block power values I n and Q n a block amplitude imbalance value and (iv) calculates for a set of the block amplitude imbalance values an average value.
