Abstract

See full text

A novel and useful apparatus for and method of I/Q gain mismatch compensation for use in a communications receiver. The invention is operative to calculate an estimate of the I/Q gain mismatch. Each input sample is subsequently multiplied by the inverse of the estimate to generate compensated samples. The training sequence portion of the uncompensated input samples is used to generate the I/Q gain mismatch estimate. In accordance with the present invention, the H matrix used in calculating the gain mismatch estimate is pre-calculated for several channel lengths and stored in memory. An estimate of the channel is generated which provides the channel length and the location in the input sample buffer of the first training sequence sample to be used in calculating the gain mismatch estimate. The channel length is used to determine the number of training sequence samples to be used and to select one of the previously calculated H matrices.
