Abstract
A receiver circuit includes a quadrature signal generator to generate an in-phase (I) signal and a quadrature (Q) signal from a local oscillator signal and an IQ phase sense and control circuit to generate a phase adjustment code responsive to a phase error between quadrature signals generated by a plurality of mixers. The receiver circuit also includes a phase corrector to adjust a phase difference between the I and Q signals from the quadrature signal generator to generate corrected I and Q signals to be provided to the plurality of mixers.
