DC OFFSET CORRECTION SYSTEM FOR A RECEIVER WITH BASEBAND GAIN CONTROL

摘要

A method and apparatus are provided for providing improved radio frequency (RF) receiver signal correction. For RF receiver circuitry (106) having receive path and a warmup period associated therewith and including at least one analog baseband gain control stage (218) having a gain associated therewith, the method includes the step of performing a DC correction calculation operation during the warmup period to derive a DC correction value having a first component and a second component for each of the at least one gain control stage (218). The DC correction calculation step includes the steps of performing a first closed loop correction (460) of a baseband path to derive the first component of the DC correction value and performing a second closed loop correction (462) of the receive path as a function of the (218) gain during the warmup period to derive the second component of the DC correction value. During operation after the warmup period (464 , 466), an open loop correction is performed for instantaneous DC correction as function of the PMA (218) gain and the DC correction value.
