17. A system comprising:
a quadrature transceiver having a transmit path with a quadrature up-converter, a receive path with a quadrature down-converter, and a loopback path coupled between the up-converter and the down-converter;
a signal observer arranged to capture a first and second pilot signals received from the receive path;
a phase shifter arranged to apply a phase shift to at least one of the first and second pilot signals between the up-converter and the down-converter; and
a processor configured to:
obtain joint estimates of transmit and receive in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) mismatch (IQMM) in part by estimating the phase shift, and in part by processing the first and second pilot signals as a function of one or more frequency-dependent IQMM parameters; and
compensate for the IQMM using the joint estimates of the transmit and receive IQMM.
