First Claim

1. A coherent adaptive calibration method for a receiver, comprising:
- removing at least a portion of a DC offset from a series of first channel signal samples to produce a series of corrected first channel samples;
computing a linear combination of said series of corrected first channel samples and a series of second channel signal samples to produce a series of corrected second channel samples, wherein parameters for said linear combination are computed at least in part from a gain imbalance correction parameter and a phase correction parameter;
down-converting said series of corrected first channel samples to produce a first in-phase down-converted signal;
down-converting said series of corrected second channel samples to produce a quadrature down-converted signal; and
determining a next value of said gain imbalance correction parameter based upon at least said first in-phase down-converted signal and said quadrature down-converted signal.

Abstract
A receiver is adaptively calibrated by using a coherent reference signal. The reference signal is selected to be offset from a center frequency of the calibration signal such that the resultant product is offset from baseband by some small amount. The resultant product is used to determine a next value of the calibration parameters.
