Abstract
A correction circuit for a digital signal pair having an in-phase signal and a quadrature signal includes a value determining stage and an error-detecting stage. The value-determining stage determines a maximum value and a minimum value for the in-phase signal, a maximum value and a minimum value for the quadrature signal, and two held values for the quadrature signal that correspond to the maximum and minimum values of the in-phase signal. These signals are used in the error-detecting stage to derive an in-phase offset error signal, a quadrature offset error signal, a phase-error signal, and an amplitude-error signal from which an in-phase-offset-correcting signal, a quadrature-offset-correcting signal, a quadrature phase-correcting signal, and quadrature amplitude-correcting signal are formed by associated controllers.
