  • Patent number: 8975965
    Abstract: A differential signal correction circuit is disclosed. The differential signal correction circuit may comprise a first single-ended-to-differential converter and a second single-ended-to-differential converter. Each one of the two converters may comprise an input port and two output ports. The converters may be configured to perform a first phase correction for a pair of differential signals and output a first output signal and a second output signal. The first output signal is fed back to the first converter through one of the output ports of the first converter, and the second output signal is fed back to the second converter through one of the output ports of the second converter so as to perform phase correction and amplitude correction for the first output signal and the second output signal.
