    Abstract: An integrated circuit chip includes an interleaved analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and an interleaving calibration circuit. The interleaved ADC includes a plurality of ADCs that are each configured to sample an analog signal. The interleaved ADC is configured to convert the analog signal into an interleaved analog-to-digital signal (IADC signal) that includes a plurality of spurious signals formed from mismatches between the plurality of ADCs. The interleaving calibration circuit is configured to receive the IADC signal from the interleaved ADC, generate a mismatch profile estimate corresponding to the plurality of spurious signals to generate one or more mismatch profile estimates, determine whether a first mismatch profile estimate is in a frequency band of interest, and, in response to a determination that the first mismatch profile estimate is in the frequency band of interest, generate a set of model parameters based on the first mismatch profile estimate.

    Abstract: A TX-TX pre-compensation system that estimates unwanted coupling in a victim transmit chain caused by an aggressor transmit chain and injects a pre-compensation signal to cancel out the estimated coupling. In some embodiments, a signal measurement module estimates the amplitude, phase, and envelope delay of the coupling and an isolation pre-compensation module generates the pre-compensation signal based on the estimated amplitude, the estimated phase, the estimated envelope delay, and the difference between the carrier frequencies of the transmit chains. Since the phase of the coupling may be affected by the carrier frequency of the transmit chains, in some embodiments the phase of the pre-compensation signal is adjusted in response to a change in carrier frequency. Since the amplitude of the coupling may be affected by attenuator gain settings, in some embodiments the amplitude of the pre-compensation signal may be adjusted in response to a change in attenuator gain setting.
