Abstract
Methods and systems for I/Q mismatch calibration and compensation for wideband communication receivers may include receiving a radio frequency (RF) signal in a receiver of a communication device, down-sampling the received RF signal to generate a channel k and its image channel −k at baseband frequencies, and determining average in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) gain and phase mismatch of the channel k and the image channel −k. A curvature of gain mismatch for the channel k and the image channel −k may be estimate utilizing a blind source separation (BSS) estimation algorithm. The average I and Q gain and phase mismatch of the channel k and the image channel −k may be removed. A residual phase tilt and a residual amplitude tilt of the channel k and the image channel −k (with removed average I and Q gain and phase mismatch) may be determined.
