A system comprising a first frequency divider to divide an input frequency of an input signal to generate a first signal having a first frequency and a first phase. Each of a plurality of second frequency dividers divides the input frequency of the input signal to generate a second signal having the first frequency and a second phase. A first switch includes a first end connected to a first node of the first frequency divider, and a second end connected to a second node of a first one of the plurality of second frequency dividers. A plurality of second switches include first ends connected to the second end of the first switch, and second ends respectively connected to the second nodes of the plurality of second frequency dividers other than the first one of the plurality of second frequency dividers.

Modular frequency divider with switch configuration to reduce parasitic capacitance

Devices and methods capable of correcting for distortion are disclosed. For example, a method for compensating for non-idealities in a frequency-conversion circuit having a high-frequency input side separated from a baseband side by a passive mixer is presented. The method includes injecting a plurality of calibration signals in the baseband side to determine cross-talk between an In-phase (I) portion of the baseband side and a Quadrature (Q) portion of the baseband side to produce a first measurement &#x393;and a second measurement &#x393;, synthesizing a crosstalk compensation filter g(&#x3c9;) based on the first measurement &#x393;and the second measurement &#x393;, and applying the crosstalk compensation filter g(&#x3c9;) to an output of the frequency-conversion circuit.
