A method for compensating signal nonlinearities includes generating a local oscillator (LO) signal and performing phase modulation of the LO signal to generate a phase-modulated LO signal. The phase modulation is based on applying at least one digital-to-time converter (DTC) code of a plurality of DTC codes to a rising edge signal portion and a falling edge signal portion associated with the LO signal. Nonlinearities associated with the rising edge signal portion and the falling edge signal portion are determined. The at least one DTC code is adjusted based on the nonlinearities.
