6-phase digitally-assisted harmonic rejection transceiver using rf interpolation

Architectures are presented for transmitters and receivers that use a harmonic rejection mixer that uses a 6-phase clock signal, while also using a differential in-phase / quadrature input signal (for the transmitter) or output signal (for the receiver). This results in crosstalk between the in-phase and quadrature components, where a digital correction circuit forms a linear combination of the baseband I / Q signals to generate the I / Q for the mixer in order to obtain the desired baseband signal. By using a differential I / Q signal, only two DACs / ADCs are needed, saving circuitry area and power consumption, while providing strong 2nd, 3rd, and 4th clock harmonic rejection. The clock signal can be composed of two sets of 3-phase signals, each signal having a 33% duty cycle.
