On the investigation of built-in tuning of RF receivers using on-chip polyphase filters

This paper presents a built-in tuning technique in radiofrequency receivers using on-chip polyphase filters. Auto-calibration of the filter resistance values, based on Design-Of-Experiment (DOE) methodology, is proposed. This approach investigates process and temperature monitoring of the frequency band, the image-rejection-ratio (IRR) and the I/Q-accuracy resulting in robust and low-cost solutions.
