Offset balancer, method of balancing an offset and a wireless receiver employing the balancer and the method

摘要

The present invention provides an offset balancer for use with a differential mixer employing a wireless reception and an offset quantifier configured to indicate an existing DC offset of the mixer corresponding to an existing second-order intercept point applicable to the wireless reception. In one embodiment, the offset balancer includes an offset adjuster coupled to the offset quantifier and configured to provide an offset adjustment to the existing DC offset based on increasing the existing second-order intercept point.
