An apparatus and method for performing digital image correction in a
receiver. In one embodiment, a receiver circuit may include an IQ signal
source configured to provide a digital signal comprising in-phase (I) and
quadrature (Q) components, such as an IQ mixer in combination with an
analog to digital converter, for example. The receiver circuit may also
include an image correction unit coupled to the IQ signal source and
configured to combine the digital signal with a complex image correction
factor. The image correction unit may be implemented using a digital
signal processor under the control of associated program instructions,
for example. In one specific implementation of the receiver circuit, the
image correction unit may be configured to combine the digital signal
with the complex image correction factor using a cross-accumulation
operation.
