Abstract
An LO leakage canceller for a direct conversion receiver is disclosed. The canceller includes an RF input stage operating to provide at least two input signals, a local oscillator, an in-phase processor, and a quadrature processor. The local oscillator is configured to produce at least two reference signals for modulating the two input signals. Each of the in-phase and quadrature processors includes two consecutive quadrature splitters operating to substantially reduce leakage of the reference signal from the local oscillator to the RF input stage.
