Abstract
Transceiver circuitry in an integrated circuit device includes a receive path including an analog front end for receiving analog signals from an analog transmission path and conditioning the analog signals, and an analog-to-digital converter configured to convert the conditioned analog signals into received digital signals for delivery to functional circuitry, and a transmit path including a digital front end configured to accept digital signals from the functional circuitry and to condition the accepted digital signals, and a digital-to-analog converter configured to convert the conditioned digital signals into analog signals for transmission onto the analog transmission path. At least one of the analog front end and the digital front end introduces distortion and outputs a distorted conditioned signal. The transceiver circuitry further includes distortion correction circuitry at the one of the analog front end and the digital front end, to determine and apply a distortion cancellation function to the distorted signal.
