[Prior art] Please refer to FIG. 1 ′. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of a conventional direct down-conversion receiver. The direct down-conversion receiver includes an antenna n, a low noise amplifier (LNA) 12, a mixer 14, 24, a low-pass filter (LPF) 16, 26, and an analog / digital converter. (ADC) 18, 28, and a digital signal processor (DSP) 19. The antenna 11 receives a wireless communication signal, and the low noise amplifier 12 is used to amplify the wireless communication signal received by the antenna 11. The mixer 14 mixes the wireless communication signal with a first carrier (that is, cos (Wct) shown in FIG. 1) to generate an analog signal heart, and another mixer 24 mixes the wireless communication signal with a The second carrier (ie, sin (Wct + 3) shown in Figure 1) is mixed to generate an analog signal 8 & 2. The low-pass filters 16, 26 are used to filter the high-frequency components of the analog signal cores 1,832, respectively. In addition, the analog / digital converters 18 and 28 convert the analog signals sal and Sc into corresponding digital signals Sdl and Sd2, respectively. Finally, the digital signal processor 19 is used to perform subsequent signal processing on the digital signals Sdi, Sd2. As is known in the industry, the first carrier and the second carrier need to correspond to a phase difference of 90 degrees, so that the analog signals Sal and Sc after this frequency become two orthogonal signals, which are in-phase signals (In- phase signal) and quadrature phase signal (Qua (jrature-phse signal). However, in actual circuits, due to factors such as temperature, process and supply voltage drift, the The ideal phase difference (that is, 90 degrees) generates a phase offset $. This phenomenon is called in-phase / positive-parent phase mismatch (IQmismatch). As shown in FIG. 1, the first carrier C0s (Wct) and the second carrier sm ( Wet +5) has a phase offset of 5. The mismatch between the in-phase and quadrature phases will affect the signal demodulation and increase the bit error rate of the communication system (biteiT0rrate). Therefore, the phase offset δ must be corrected, In order to further modify the analog signals Sal and Sa2 to increase the bit rate of the communication system as itrate). There are two known correction methods for the in-phase / quadrature-phase mismatch of direct down-conversion receivers: 1. The in-phase / quadrature-phase signals are converted to the corresponding in-phase by analog / digital converters 18 and 28 respectively. After quadrature phase digital signals, measure the phase offset of the two signals at the digital end (digital domain). After that, an adjustment signal is output according to the phase difference signal, and the in-phase / quadrature-phase analog signal is compensated for in-phase / quadrature phase mismatch at the analog end (anal0gd〇main). Another conventional method is to measure the phase offset of in-phase / quadrature-phase digital signals at the digital end. The difference from the previous method is that after the phase shift of f, the in-phase / quadrature-phase digital signal compensation is performed directly at the digital end. In the above two methods, the phase shift of the in-phase / quadrature-phase digital signal Sdi and core 2 is detected at the digital end. The implementation method is to use the digital circuit in the digital signal processor 19 to in-phase / quadrature-phase digital signal. sdl, Sd2 to perform Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) to obtain phase and shift. After that, phase compensation is performed on the analog side using the conventional Gram_Schmidt orthogonalization process. Or use a digital circuit to perform a Least_Mean_Square (LMS) algorithm and perform phase compensation at the digital end (for detailed implementation, please refer to "AdaptiveIQ mismatch cancellation for quadrature IF receiver ", Isis Mikhael, Wasiy. B. Mikhael, httpy / bmce * engnucf: edii /% 7Eprp / paper6). However, the operation of calculating phase offset 5 using discrete Fourier transform not only requires complicated logic circuits to perform complicated logic calculations, but also increases additional power consumption. Digital circuits require external supply The added correction signal can perform the minimum mean square differentiation method to compensate, and it also increases the complexity and power loss of the circuit. [Summary of the Invention] 丄 The present invention provides an in-phase / quadrature for a receiver with a direct frequency reduction architecture. The device and method are normalized only when the phases do not match. The minimum mean square operation algorithm can be implemented without additional correction signal source, and the in-phase / quadrature-phase analog signal is in-phase / quadrature-phase in the analog domain (analog domain). Compensation to solve the above problems. According to the scope of patent application of the present invention, it discloses a kind of Phase / quadrature phase mismatch (JQ m1Sm off) correction device and method thereof for a direct frequency reduction (directd0 * c_rs㈣ architecture = communication system, which includes a first mixer, which is used for Based on the same-phase carrier signal, this frequency-radio frequency signal is used to generate the same analog signal; a second mixer is used to generate a positive and negative signal according to a quadrature phase. Cross-subtraction;-the correction unit uses the-in-phase / quadrature-phase mismatch compensation signal to face the in-phase class comparison signal and the quadrature-phase signal. A quadrature mismatch; and-an arithmetic unit and a round of the correction unit for performing a -minimum mean square operation on the in-phase analog signal and the quadrature-phase analog signal to generate the in-phase / positive mismatch complement 4 signal. The transceiver and method of the present invention use the minimum mean square operation to generate a phase compensation value and a gain and compensation value. Since the method of the present invention is a thorough-independent recording unit processor, it is used in the analog domain of the transceiver. (That is, in-phase signal and quadrature signal input The calibration is completed before the digital signal processor, so it can not only reduce the system complexity, but also greatly reduce the computing load of the digital signal processor. [Embodiment] 凊 Refer to FIG. 2. FIG. 2 is a direct solution of the embodiment of the present invention. Schematic diagram of a direct d_-conversion transceiver 40. The direct-down architecture transceiver 40 includes an antenna 4 and a low noise amplifier 42, a plurality of mixers $ 44, 54 and a plurality of The functions and implementation modes of the low-pass filters 46 and 56 are substantially the same as those of the conventional direct frequency-reduction architecture transceiver, and details are not described herein again. It should be noted that the mixer 44 uses the first carrier Q to directly down-convert the RF signal (direct_convert) to generate the same analog signal ^. In addition, the mixer 54 # directly reduces the frequency of the radio frequency signal by using the second carrier signal ^ to generate a quadrature phase analog signal Qt. In this embodiment, the direct frequency down conversion transceiver 40 further includes a correction unit 34 for correcting the gain mismatch and phase mismatch of the in-phase analog signal It and the quadrature-phase analog signal Qt, and the operation unit 36 is used to calculate the in-phase The degree of gain mismatch and phase mismatch of the analog signal it and the quadrature-phase analog signal q, and the correction unit 34 is controlled to perform gain compensation and phase compensation according to the calculation result. The detailed implementation of the correction unit 34 and the operation unit 36 will be described in detail below. In addition, the 'transceiver 40 further includes analog / digital conversion devices 48 and 58 for converting in-phase analog signals and quadrature-phase analog signals to corresponding in-phase digital signals and quadrature-phase digital signals, respectively. In addition, the digital signal processor 49 can perform the subsequent digital signal processing based on the in-phase digital signal and the quadrature-phase digital signal. — ^ Refer to Figure 3. Figure 3 is a schematic diagram of the functional blocks of the correction unit 34 and the arithmetic unit 36 shown in Figure 2. In the present embodiment, the correction unit 34 includes a programmable gain compensation unit a and a programmable phase surface unit 72, and the arithmetic unit% is provided with a sampling unit material, a%, a delay unit 66, a synthesis unit 76, and a minimum unit. Mean square operation unit 78. The programmable gain compensation unit 62 has an initial gain compensation value ^ for performing gain compensation by adjusting the gain of the in-phase analog signal of terminal A] ^, and outputs the in-phase analog compensation signal ^ $ end point C 'programmable phase compensation The unit 72 has an initial compensation value center for performing phase compensation by adjusting the phase of the quadrature phase analog signal Qt at the endpoint B, and turns out the quadrature phase analog supplement signal Qt at the endpoint D. It should be noted that as long as one of the in-phase / quadrature-phase analog signals is adjusted, the phase and gain compensation can be performed in the case where the phase and amplitude of the two signals do not match, and this embodiment can also be performed by touching the quadrature-phase analog. Gao's gain and __E's gain and phase compensation, respectively. Then, the sampling units 64 and 74 respectively sample the in-phase analog compensation signal Y and the quadrature-phase analog compensation signal Qt to generate two sampling signals E and G. As is known in the industry, sampling = sampling used by the elements 64 and 74. It must be at least twice the frequency of the sampled signal (that is, the in-phase analog compensation aUt and the positive father analog tree member signal Q /). In this embodiment, the sampling scale of the sampling city is _ times as large, but The tree smashed this secret. Then, the delay unit 66 delays the sampling signal E according to the -sampling period. In this embodiment, the delay unit uses the sampling signal to lag the sampling signal uE to generate a -delay signal f. Then, the synthesizing circuit 76 synthesizes the delayed signal F and the sampling signal G to obtain a synthesized signal γ, which is input to the minimum = operation unit 78. In this embodiment, the synthesis unit% is an adder. The minimum mean square is different as early as το 78, according to the joint number γ and the error tolerance axis boundary value d-the error signal £. As is known in the industry, 'when performing the minimum mean square operation, the error allowable turn value d represents the amount of error that the composite signal γ allows when adjusting. In this embodiment, the error allowable threshold is set to zero, in other words, The minimum mean square operation unit 78 can reach _whole analogy_lobe '', and the orthogonal quadrature signal Qt has the same amplitude and the purpose of being orthogonal to each other. In addition, this embodiment uses the delayed signal two and the sampled signal E to generate the input parameter χ wide & required for the minimum mean square operation, the principle of which will be described later. Therefore, the 'minimum mean square operation difference unit 78 is based on the delay signal F, the sampling signal E and the error signal £ to rush-to refine it ^ the next life-phase compensation ship 02 to update the expected Shexin 2 and production and operation unit Auxiliary 36, the last analog in-phase signal L, has the same amplitude as the analog positive = unit 34 and is orthogonal to each other. The operation of the above-mentioned arithmetic unit 36 can be provided by the Q and Q phase numbers. The following equation can be used to supplement the explanation. The radio frequency signal Vrp received by the sky and line 41 shown in Figure 2 can be expressed as: = 2 * sin (wLOt + wmt + eQ) The first and second carriers received by mixers 44 and 54 can be expressed as ...
