Calibration Techniques for Wireless Transceivers Slides and Transcript

Abstract - Modern wireless transceivers are expected to meet aggressive performance, cost, and power consumption targets with adequate yield in short design cycles. To address these challenges, RFICs are relying extensively on calibration techniques. This tutorial presents the impact of analog/RF non-idealities on key radio metrics and will cover techniques to address topics such as IQ imbalance, LO feed-through, IIP2 nonlinearities, analog ?lter tuning, full duplex radio and phased array calibrations.
Biography - David McLaurin joined Analog Devices in 2000, designing high speed pipeline ADCs. In 2002 he joined an RF IC team in Raleigh, NC, where he architects and designs wideband recon?gurable wireless transceivers. David graduated from the Georgia Institute of Technology (MSEE 2000), and North Carolina State University (BSEE 1998). He has been serving as a member of the technical program committee of ISSCC since 2016.
