- QUADRATURE RECEIVER COMMUNICATION SYSTEM, SIGNAL PROCESSOR, METHOD OF CALCULATING DIRECT CURRENT OFFSET, AND METHOD OF OPERATING A QUADRATURE RECEIVER
- the present invention relates to a quadrature receiver, communication system, signal processor, method of calculating direct current offset, and method of operating a quadrature receiver.
- Radio frequency (RF) receivers which utilize quadrature demodulation techniques are known in the art.
- Some conventional digital quadrature receiver designs include a variable amplification stage followed by a downconversion stage.
- a received radio frequency (RF) signal is typically applied to a variable gain amplifier to selectively adjust the gain of the received signal depending upon the strength of the signal received at the antenna.
- An automatic gain control (AGC) component can be utilized to control the variable gain amplifier to account for varied signal strengths at the antenna of the receiver.
- the output of the variable gain amplifier is thereafter provided to a downconverter in such prior art designs.
- Downconversion includes analog processing, such as mixing, to downconvert the received radio frequency signal from an intermediate frequency (IF) to baseband. Following the downconversion operations, the received signal is low-pass filtered and conditioned for subsequent analog-to-digital conversion.
- IF intermediate frequency
- D.C. direct current offset
- I in-phase
- Q quadrature
- the direct current offset within the in-phase and quadrature channels can cause signal distortion in the demodulator of the receiver. Additionally, direct current offset often results in misoperation of the automatic gain control portion of the quadrature receiver.
- Direct current portions of the in-phase and quadrature channels or the complex direct current respectively contain carrier information in some modulation schemes (e.g., constant envelope modulation schemes such as frequency modulation/frequency-shift keying (FM/FSK) in a dual-mode code division multiple access/advanced mobile phone system (CDMA/ AMPS) architecture).
- modulation schemes e.g., constant envelope modulation schemes such as frequency modulation/frequency-shift keying (FM/FSK) in a dual-mode code division multiple access/advanced mobile phone system (CDMA/ AMPS) architecture.
- Averaging over the in-phase and quadrature channels does not reliably yield the direct current offset or feedthrough value in such modulation schemes, but rather provides the sum of the actual direct current of the complex envelope content and the unwanted direct current feedthrough yielding an ambiguous result.
- Exemplary prior art methods for minimizing effects of direct current feedthrough include offsetting or modulating the local oscillator of the downconverter. These conventional techniques are successful to some degree in minimizing
