    Abstract: A signal processor for a radio frequency (RF) receiver includes a signal processing path having first and second programmable gain amplifiers and first and second offset correction circuits. The first offset correction circuit receives a first digital offset correction word and corrects a first offset of the first programmable gain amplifier by adding a first value corresponding to the first digital offset correction word to an input of the first programmable gain amplifier. The second offset correction circuit receives a second digital offset correction word and corrects a second offset of the second programmable gain amplifier by adding a first value corresponding to the second digital offset correction word to an input of the second programmable gain amplifier. A controller measures offsets of the first and second programmable gain amplifiers during a calibration, and provides the first and second offset correction words in response to the offsets.

    Abstract: A receiver includes an input section, a plurality of RF sections, an output circuit, and a controller. The input section receives and amplifies a radio frequency (RF) input signal to provide an amplified RF signal, and has a gain input. The plurality of RF sections each have an input for receiving the amplified RF signal, and an output for providing an intermediate frequency signal. The output circuit provides an intermediate frequency output signal in response to an output of at least one of the plurality of RF sections. The controller has an output coupled to the gain input of the input section.
