1. A method of providing gain and phase offsets for compensating the phase and gain distortions of a transmitter analog front end, comprising:

  • generating a single complex tone signal, wherein the generating comprises compensating the signal gain and phase with gain and phase offsets;

    sending the compensated signal to the transmitter analog front end;

    receiving a corresponding output signal from a receiver analog front end;

    filtering the received signal in order to isolate an inter-modulation signal, which is indicative of distortions introduced by the transmitter analog front end;

    measuring the power of the filtered signal;

    updating the gain and phase offsets, and repeating the generating, sending, receiving, filtering and measuring steps above;

    comparing the measured power before and after the updating step; and

    selecting the gain and phase offsets associated with the lowest measured power.
