1. A method for calibrating a signal processing system to minimize vector mismatch between signals frequency translated from an RF signal and conveyed along a plurality of signal paths of the signal processing system, the method comprising:

  • (a) applying a calibration signal having a plurality of tones to the signal processing system, such that the calibration signal is frequency translated;

    (b) sampling the frequency-translated calibration signal (1) along a first signal path of the signal processing system to obtain a first set of observed samples and (2) along a second signal path of the signal processing system to obtain a second set of observed samples;

    (c) filtering the first set of observed samples with an adaptive filter having adaptable coefficients to obtain a set of filtered samples; and

    (d) adapting the coefficients to minimize undesired deviations between the set of filtered samples and the second set of observed samples.
