The method of calibration of a second order intermodulation intercept point (IIP2) of a radio transceiver comprises the steps of: generating a second order intermodulation (IM2) reference signal (STXIM2-REF) from a transmission baseband signal (STXBB-REF); estimating a second order intermodulation power from the second order intermodulation reference signal (STXIM2-REF) and a radio transceiver output signal (Output); tuning a second order intermodulation intercept point tuner to find a lowest second order intermodulation power; extracting an optimum second order intermodulation intercept point corresponding to the lowest second order intermodulation power.

Method of suppression of second order intermodulation of reception means (4) of a radio transceiver, characterized in that it comprises the step of:
System of calibration of a second order intermodulation intercept point (IIP2) of a radio transceiver, characterized in that it comprises generating means (21) to generate a second order intermodulation reference signal (STXIM2-REF) from a transmission baseband signal (STXBB-REF), estimating means (22) to estimate the second order intermodulation power from the second order intermodulation reference signal (STXIM2-REF) and a radio transceiver output signal (Output), extracting means (23) to extract an optimum second order intermodulation intercept point corresponding to a lowest second order intermodulation power.
System of suppression of second order intermodulation of reception means (4) of a radio transceiver, characterized in that it includes injecting means (25) to inject a transmit radiofrequency signal (STXRF-REF) from an up converter (6) of transmission means (1) into a mixer (9) of reception means (4), generating means (21) to generate a second order intermodulation reference signal (STXIM2-REF) from a transmission baseband signal (STXBB-REF), estimating means (22) to estimate the second order intermodulation power from the second order intermodulation reference signal (STXIM2-REF) and a radio transceiver output signal (Output), extracting means (23) to extract an optimum second order intermodulation intercept point corresponding to a lowest second order intermodulation power, subtraction means (11) to subtract the second order intermodulation signal (STXIM2-REF) extracted from the radio transceiver output signal (Output) to the radio transceiver output signal (Output).
