to achieve optimal performance. In this paper, we introduce techniques originally developed for wireless communication applications to calibrate upconversion and downconversion mixers. A Kalman filter together with a controllable carrier frequency offset calibrates both mixers without removing them from the embedding measurement infrastructure. These techniques can be embedded into room temperature control electronics and they will find widespread use as circuit QED devices continue to grow in size and complexity.
IQ Mixer Calibration for Superconducting Circuits
An important device for modulation and frequency translation in the field of circuit quantum electrodynamics is the IQ mixer, an analog component for which calibration is necessary
