Srdjan Milenkovic s.milenkovic at limemicro.comHi Alexander, As I mentioned before, IQ phase error is quite stable over temperature in 900/1800MHz region so let us put it aside. This can be tuned and fixed in production. On the other hand, DC offset and LO leakage are temperature dependent as one would expect. However, they can be calibrated in the product as well not just in the lab. You need just to trigger built in DC cal blocks and optionally use RF loop back to further improve LO leakage. If you want to avoid temperature sensor you have an option to do these calibrations regularly, every 30min-1h for example. This should track the temperature change without having the sensor on board. Our other customers are using both approaches, with and without temperature sensor, depending on application and spec. If they have on board temperature sensor they are using it for multiple purpose such as monitoring BB, PA, etc. Best regards, Srdjan Dr Srdjan Milenkovic On 26/07/2012 16:48, Alexander Chemeris wrote: > On Thu, Jul 26, 2012 at 4:37 PM, Alexander Chemeris > <alexander.chemeris at gmail.com> wrote: >> On Thu, Jul 26, 2012 at 3:31 PM, Srdjan Milenkovic >> <s.milenkovic at limemicro.com> wrote: >>> Combining Thomas's idea of DC recalibration and, if necessary, making >>> look >>> up table for IQ phase error correction vs temperature should put us in >>> good >>> position to meet the specs. >> Well, AFAIK, LMS6002D doesn't have a temperature sensor built in and >> this means we have to install an external one, which again increase >> BoM cost.
