Patent number: 9998242Abstract: IP2 calibration efficiency can be improved by passing the calibration signal through the transceiver's duplexer instead of inserting the calibration signal directly onto transceivers receive circuit. Passing the calibration signal through the duplexer may reduce IP2 calibration periods for transceivers having less-permeable duplexers, or duplexers that provide better than average separation between the RX and TX circuits. IP2 calibration inefficiencies can also be reduced by using a binary-like search when computing the in-phase and quadrature-phase path correction coefficients of the IP2 correction code.Type: GrantFiled: August 23, 2016Date of Patent: June 12, 2018Assignee: Futurewei Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Hong Jiang, Zhihang Zhang, Jian Liang
