  • Quadrature radio receiver with gain-dependent mismatch correction
    Patent number: 10708114
    Abstract: Certain aspects of the disclosure are directed to in-phase/quadrature (IQ) mismatch detection and correction in radio frequency receivers. According to a specific example, a method of manufacture or use comprises, in a quadrature radio-frequency receiver configured to process signals using I and Q components, providing parameters indicative of IQ mismatches associated with circuitry of the quadrature radio-frequency receiver due to changes in signal gain. The method further includes, while using the quadrature radio-frequency receiver to receive and process a received radio signal, correcting for the IQ mismatches by using the parameters in response to actual signal gain change.
