Abstract
A method and system of compensating for distortion in a baseband in-phase (I) and a corresponding baseband quadrature (Q) signal. The circuit includes an in-phase I attenuator configured to attenuate the baseband in-phase I signal and an in-phase Q attenuator configured to attenuate the baseband Q signal. There are one or more circuits that are configured to receive the attenuated in-phase I signal and the attenuated baseband Q signal. Each circuit performs a different calculation based on predetermined equations configured to determine the IM2, HD2@0°, HD2@90°, IM3@0°, IM3@90°, HD3@0°, and HD3@90°. The distortion compensation circuit is configured to use the result of at least one of the calculation circuits to generate I and Q distortion compensation signals.
