Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide an integrated circuit (IC). The IC comprises oscillator systems each configured to generate a respective oscillating signal. The IC comprises signal paths each coupled to a respective one of the plurality of oscillator systems, a first one of the plurality of signal paths comprises a mixer, and another one comprises a tone generator. The tone generator is configured to generate a tone signal based on the oscillating signal from the corresponding oscillator system. The mixer is coupled to the tone generator of said another one of said plurality of signal paths and is configured to generate a mixed signal for RSB calibration based on the tone signal from the tone generator of said another one of the plurality of signal paths and the oscillating signal from the oscillator system coupled to said first one of said plurality of signal paths.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed that implements an on-chip test tone generator for built-in spur testing. In an example aspect, the apparatus includes an integrated circuit with a test tone generator, at least one reference signal generator, and at least one signal propagation path. The test tone generator includes an amplitude control circuit. The at least one signal propagation path includes a transceiver path, a mixer, and a switch. The transceiver path is configured to be coupled to an antenna. The mixer has a first input coupled to the at least one reference signal generator. The switch is configured to selectively couple a second input of the mixer to the transceiver path or the amplitude control circuit of the at least one test tone generator.
