The invention provides a system and method for tuning broadband signals by
using post mixer I/Q equalization. An Image Rejection Mixer (IRM) is used
for mixing Radio Frequency (RF) signals and rejecting image signals from
the desired RF signals. The IRM includes an I/Q mixer and a filter. The I
and Q paths resulting from the mixing operation in the I/Q mixer are
equalized in amplitude and phase by an I/Q equalizer. Thereafter, the
image signals are rejected from the desired RF signals using the filter.
