Abstract
A phase error corrector circuit and method are disclosed. In one embodiment, a phase error corrector circuit delays a PSK modulated signal and multiplies the delayed PSK modulated signal by the PSK modulated signal in order to generate a forward phase correction signal. The input signal is then mixed with the forward phase correction signal. In another embodiment, a phase error corrector circuit calculates a forward phase offset of a complex PSK modulated signal. The complex PSK modulated signal is phase shifted in a mixer by a phase difference offset in order to generate a phase corrected signal. A backward phase correction means calculates a backward phase offset based on the phase corrected signal. A subtractor subtracts the forward phase offset from the backward phase offset for outputting a difference phase offset to the mixer.
