Various methods provide for trimming the gain in a dual-port phase-locked loop (PLL) of a radio transceiver. Use is made of the radio's demodulator to perform modulation accuracy measurements, thereby reducing the cost and complexity of external test equipment.

Trim for dual-port frequency modulation

Methods and various structures provide for loopback tuning, testing, and calibrating of a transceiver, including: supplying RF drive to both a transmitter and a receiver of the transceiver from one oscillator; applying a modulation waveform to a transceiver block of the transceiver to produce an amplitude-modulated signal; converting a sideband of the amplitude-modulated signal to a baseband signal having a frequency suitable for processing by a receiver digital block, where processing the baseband signal produces a digital output; and performing tuning, testing, and calibrating of the transceiver block, based at least in part on the digital output.
