A transceiver for transmitting and receiving signals includes a
transmitter operative to up-convert baseband signals from a baseband
frequency into RF signals at a radio frequency (RF) frequency and output
the RF signals, a receiver operative to receive RF signals and
down-convert the RF signals into baseband signals having the baseband
frequency, and a plurality of calibration paths coupling the transmitter
to the receiver. Any of the calibration paths can be selected to be
active when calibrating components of the transceiver. Tunable components
can use calibration information to optimize transceiver performance.
