Abstract
A first variable gain function is in series with an unbalanced in-phase component, and a circuit loop produces a first error signal which varies the first gain function such that its output is a signal which continuously converges toward a balanced in-phase component. A second variable gain function receives as input the unbalanced in-phase component, and a summing function in series with the unbalanced quadrature component algebraically adds the unbalanced quadrature component and the output of the second gain function. A second circuit loop produces a second error signal which varies the second gain function such that the output of the summing function is a signal which continuously converges toward a balanced quadrature component. Preferably the first error signal is produced by respectively squaring the outputs of the first gain function and the summing function, finding the difference of the squares, multiplying the difference of the squares by a selected convergence parameter, and continuously integrating the multiplied difference. Preferably the second error signal is produced by multiplying the outputs of the first gain function and the summing function, multiplying the product of the first gain function and the summing function by a selected convergence parameter, and continuously integrating the output of the multiplier. Also preferably the error signal loops are each normalized. Optionally, an initial set of convergence parameters can be applied to speed-up the start of convergence, and a second set of smaller values can be applied some time later for more precise convergence.
