Method and system for adc calibration in ofdm systems

Abstract

Aspects of a method and system for ADC calibration in OFDM systems may include receiving a plurality of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) tones at an OFDM receiver comprising a ping-pong Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) and a Fast-Fourier Transform (FFT). A transfer function of the ping-pong ADC may be calibrated via one or more adjustment coefficients at one or more corresponding outputs of the FFT, based on processing of the plurality of the OFDM tones. The plurality of OFDM tones may be received in an OFDM preamble, or the received plurality of OFDM tones may be generated in a calibration signal generator. The output levels of the outputs of the FFT may be equalized to achieve the calibration of the transfer function. The adjustment coefficients may be varied, and said calibrating may be performed dynamically.
