Digital I/Q Imbalance correction IP for Wireless Applications
Overview
The IQE 100 is a wideband imbalance correction IP, that digitally match in-phase and quadrature signal paths in radio architectures employing complex demodulators such as direct down-conversion receivers. The IQE 100 IP core is available as FPGA IP and as a GDSII macro block.
Key Features
- Digital IQ balancing for complex frequency demodulation
