ABSTRACT:
A transmitter generates a transmitter output signal from first and second baseband signals. The transmitter includes a detector to detect a local oscillator (LO) leakage signal in the transmitter output signal. A controller coupled to the detector determines a direct LO coupling component and a baseband DC offset component of the LO leakage signal. First and second variable current sources are adjusted by the controller to provide first and second DC offsets to the first and second baseband signals, respectively. The first and second DC offsets reduce the direct LO coupling component. Third and fourth variable current sources are subsequently adjusted by the controller to provide third and fourth DC offsets to the first and second baseband signals, respectively. The third and fourth DC offsets reduce the baseband DC component. Overall, reducing the direct LO coupling component and the baseband DC component reduces a power of the LO leakage signal.
