Abstract

An artifact signal correction system may include a mixing component to generate a waveform corresponding to an artifact such as an error tone, whereupon that waveform may be combined with the input waveform to substantially eliminate the artifact. In preferred embodiments, a method and apparatus for reducing spurious tones in systems of mismatched interleaved digitizers due to interleave error is provided. In various embodiments the method may include reversing the frequency content of an input signal, converting the reversed signal into interleave artifact content, delaying the input signal along a parallel path, and then subtracting the interleave content from the delayed input signal.
