Introduction • Default RxVGA2 DC offset calibration method gives unstable calibration results. • The noise, which is introduced in every VGA2 gain stage (Stage A and Stage B), may cause instability of comparators in calibration loop. • To reduce noise, every VGA2 gain stage is reprogrammed before calibration. Test description: •





Set VGA2 A stage gain to 18dB and VGA2 B stage to 0dB • Run auto cal for channel I and Q, on VGA2 A stage only. • Save Cal Results. Set VGA2 A stage gain to 0dB and VGA2 B stage to 18dB. • Run auto cal for channel I and Q, on VGA2 B stage only. • Save Cal Results. Calibration executed 100 times to check repeatability.

• Both RXVGA2 calibration methods are tested and compared. Enabling Personal Broadband™

Conclusion • • •

New RXVGA2 calibration algorithm improved calibration stability. Calibration values vary ~ ±2 values over 100 iterations. DC offset level variation reduced using new calibration method. The residual DC offset has to be removed by implementing averaging filter in baseband/FPGA.

Appendix: Correcting RX I and Q DC Levels Software in the receiver baseband is required to calibrate the DC level on the I and Q channel. The process of applying DC level adjustment to the I & Q channel is an optional requirement for fine tuning purposes only. The methodology of correcting the DC levels is shown in the diagram below.
