Zusammenfassung:Various embodiments are disclosed relating to a wireless transceiver. In an example embodiment, a method of compensating for phase imbalance and amplitude imbalance between corresponding in-phase signals and quadrature-phase signals includes providing a plurality of test tones of various frequencies to a receiver and determining, for each of the test tones, a respective phase imbalance and a respective amplitude imbalance between an in-phase (I) signal and a quadrature-phase (Q) signal of the test tone. The example method also includes determining a set of filter coefficients based on the determined phase and amplitude imbalances of the plurality of test tones and applying the set of filter coefficients to a plurality of filters. In the example method, a phase imbalance between an I signal and a Q signal of a received wireless signal is compensated for using a first filter of the plurality of filters. Further, an amplitude imbalance between the I and Q signals of the received wireless signal is compensated for using a second filter of the plurality of filters.
