Abstract
An apparatus and method for performing digital image correction in a receiver. In one embodiment, a receiver circuit may include an IQ signal source configured to provide a digital signal comprising in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) components, such as an IQ mixer in combination with an analog to digital converter, for example. The receiver circuit may also include an image correction unit coupled to the IQ signal source and configured to combine the digital signal with a complex image correction factor. The image correction unit may be implemented using a digital signal processor under the control of associated program instructions, for example. In one specific implementation of the receiver circuit, the image correction unit may be configured to combine the digital signal with the complex image correction factor using a cross-accumulation operation.
