    Abstract: A transmitter includes estimation circuitry and correction circuitry. The estimation circuitry is configured to estimate, based at least on a phase error between a local oscillator and a reference frequency, values for parameters that describe a frequency deviation experienced by a phase locked loop (PLL) during transmission of the data sample, wherein the PLL includes a local oscillator. The correction circuitry is configured to generate a correction term based at least on the estimated parameters; adjust the data sample with the correction term to generate a compensated data sample; and provide the compensated data sample for modulation of a carrier wave generated by the local oscillator.
