ABSTRACT:
A method and device for calibrating in-phase and quadrature-phase (IQ) mismatch. The device is used in a direct down-conversion circuit of a communication system. The device has a first mixer for mixing an RF signal with a first carrier signal, so as to generate an in-phase analog signal; a second mixer for mixing the RF signal with a second carrier signal, so as to generate a quadrature-phase analog signal; an operation unit for executing a Least Mean Square (LMS) algorithm and thereby generating a compensation signal according to the in-phase analog signal and the quadrature-phase analog signal; and a calibration unit for compensating the in-phase analog signal and the quadrature-phase analog signal according to the compensation signal, so as to calibrate the IQ mismatch between the in-phase analog signal and the quadrature-phase analog signal.
