  • Patent number: 8817936
    Abstract: A system for synchronizing IQ demodulators includes IQ demodulators, phase-controlling devices, a reference signal, a phase detector, and a control device. The phase-controlling devices are each associated with one of the IQ demodulators for outputting an output signal to its associated IQ demodulator having a phase controlled by the associated phase-controlling device. The phase detector is in communication with the output signals for determining whether the phase of any of the output signals is out-of-phase with a reference phase of the reference signal. The control-device is in communication with the phase-controlling devices programmed, internally or externally, to send a control signal to the associated phase-controlling device for any of the output signals which are out-of-phase with the reference phase of the reference signal so that the associated phase-controlling device synchronizes the phase of the output signal to being in-phase with the reference phase of the reference signal.
