Abstract
A communication system comprises a direct conversion receiver for correcting imbalance errors. The direct conversion receiver receives a radio frequency (RF) signal and converts the RF signal to baseband signals. The direct conversion receiver further translates the baseband signals to digital signals having a direct current (DC) offset and applies a DC offset correction to the digital signals having the DC offset to generate first DC offset corrected signals. An imbalance correction unit of the direct conversion receiver applies an imbalance correction to the first DC offset corrected signals by estimating an error between an average envelope of the first DC offset corrected signals and an average envelope of second DC offset corrected signals. The imbalance correction unit is fixed at initial imbalance parameter values. The direct conversion receiver further updates the initial imbalance parameter values of the imbalance correction unit based on the estimated error for correcting imbalance errors.
