Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for compensating for frequency-dependent I-Q imbalance. In some implementations, a radio receiver includes an in-phase mixer configured to generate an in-phase (I) signal and a quadrature mixer configured to generate a quadrature (Q) signal. A first analog-to-digital (A/D) converter is configured to generate first digital samples from one of the I signal and the Q signal. A second analog-to-digital (A/D) converter is configured to generate second digital samples from the other of the I signal and the Q signal. A compensation system includes a feedback loop configured to compensate for frequency-dependent I-Q imbalance based on results, for each of multiple of the first digital samples, of cross-correlation of the first digital sample with each of multiple of the second digital samples.
