A novel I/Q mismatch calibration technique based on a digital baseband for a direct conversion transmitter is implemented in TSMC 0.13 m CMOS technology. The proposed technique finishes a calibration task, which only needs a calibration chain to detect mismatches and then transmit them to the digital baseband. Simulation results show that the calibrated errors of the proposed technique are less than 7%. The measurement results indicate the function of the proposed technique is correct, but the performance should be improved further.
