[6] Experiments with a LO/2 Digital Quadrature --- Feb 9, 2016
Typical digital quadratures involve 2 D-flip-flops that divide the local oscillator by 4.
I tried to make some that pursued a LO/2 scheme -- and found that the divide by 4 format works better to clean up any signal generator duty cycle distortion and gives a wider zero phase error bandwidth in the I and Q channels. Flip flops prove the best amplitude limiter, square wave symmetry device we can find. I've attached the experiments for interest sake.
