  • 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.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 5, 2018
    Date of Patent: July 7, 2020
    Assignee: NXP B.V.
    Inventors: Juergen Richard Marschner, Robert Rutten, Niels Gabriel, Tjeu van Ansem, Francoise Jeannette Harmsze, Peter Blinzer, Frits Anthonie Steenhof

  • Patent number: 10447523
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to an IQ mismatch correction module for a radio receiver, the IQ mismatch correction module comprising: an input terminal configured to receive an input signal; an output terminal configured to provide a filtered output signal; a mismatch detection module comprising: one or more bandpass filters configured to receive, from the input terminal or output terminal, a bandpass input signal and to pass a plurality of sub-bands of the bandpass input signal to provide respective bandpass filtered signals; one or more amplitude and phase mismatch detectors configured to determine amplitude and phase mismatch coefficients based on the bandpass filtered signals from the plurality of sub-bands; a transformation unit configured to apply a transformation to the amplitude and phase mismatch coefficients to provide correction filter coefficients for the plurality of sub-bands; and a filter module configured to: receive the filter coefficients for the plurality of sub-bands from the mismatch detection m
