Direct Down-Conversion System with I/Q Correction

TIDA-00078

Design files

Overview

The I/Q Correction block implemented in the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) of the TSW6011EVM helps users to adopt a direct down conversion receiver architecture in a wireless system. The I/Q correction block consists of a single-tap blind algorithm, which corrects the frequency-independent I/Q imbalance in a complex zero-IF receiver system. Along with the I/Q correction block, the FPGA includes a digital gain block, a digital power-measurement block, x2 of interpolation block, an I/Q offset correction block, and a quadrature mixing block.

Features
  1. Direct Down conversion receiver signal chain with automatic IQ correction
  2. Includes TRF371125 IQ demod for direct conversion to baseband
  3. ADS5282 to capture the IQ receive signal for IQ processing
  4. Automatic blind IQ correction IP example provided on Altera Cyclone III FPGA
