Popis: A comparator offset immune and area-efficient In-phase and Quadrature (I/Q) mismatch calibration technique is proposed for direct conversion receivers in the letter. Theoretical analysis is provided to explain the independence between comparator offset and error detection accuracy. For verifying the proposed method, a receiver front-end prototype, along with the proposed I/Q mismatch calibration, is designed and fabricated in the 0.18- $\mu \text{m}$ technology. Experimental results show that Image Rejection Ratio (IRR) is 61.99 dB @15 MHz with a comparator offset ranging from 0 to 14 mV. And IRR for a wideband signal from 5 to 25 MHz is enhanced from 31.6 to 43.3 dB after calibration.
