Abstract
In a radio circuit (299) that forwards a signal pair (I,Q) by first ( , I) and second ( , Q) channels, by converting the signal pair (I,Q) from a digital form (I , Q ) to an analog form (I , Q ), a gain controller ( ) monitors differences between the overall gains (G , G ) in the channels and corrects a gain imbalance by feeding back a gain determining control signal (W) to one of the channels. The gain controller ( ) has digital comparators ( ) at the inputs ( ) of the channels and analog comparators at the outputs ( ) of the channels. Intrinsic offsets of the analog comparators are determined and compensated by subtracting corresponding offsets from the digital comparators.
