Abstract
Methods and apparatuses to detect spectrum inversion based on estimated frequency offset in carrier signal. In one embodiment, a receiver includes an I/Q swap module to output an in-phase component and a quadrature-phase component; a frequency offset estimator to determine an offset in carry frequency of the in-phase and quadrature-phase components; and a spectrum inversion detector coupled to the frequency offset estimator and the I/Q swap module. The spectrum inversion detector is configured to signal the I/Q swap module to swap the in-phase component and the quadrature-phase component when an absolute value of the offset in carry frequency is above a predetermined threshold.
