Abstract
In one aspect a computer-implemented method is performed. The method may include capturing intermediate data samples for transmission by a wireless communications transmitter. The method may further include applying signal processing to the intermediate data samples, capturing output data samples after applying the signal processing, and/or determining quadrature correction coefficients from the intermediate data samples and the output data samples, wherein the quadrature correction coefficients remove quadrature errors caused by the signal processing. The method may further include applying the quadrature correction coefficients to a series of input data samples, wherein the intermediate data samples comprise the input data samples with the quadrature correction coefficients applied to the input data samples. The capturing the intermediate data samples, the applying the signal processing, the capturing the output data samples, the determining the quadrature correction coefficients, and the applying the quadrature correction coefficients may be performed by at least one processor.
