Abstract
A method of operating a radio frequency transceiver may include generating, by a transmit circuit of the transceiver, in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) analog signals based on a digital calibration signal; mixing, by the transmit circuit, the I and Q analog signals with local oscillator (LO) and phase shifted LO signals to generate upconverted I and Q signals, the LO signal having a first frequency, and combining the upconverted I and Q signals to generate a combined signal; and converting, by a receive circuit of the transceiver, a signal based on the combined signal to a received digital signal using a sampling rate at a second frequency, the second frequency being less than the first frequency, wherein the converting downconverts frequency content in the combined signal.
