Amplitude and phase calibration at a transmitter chip in an antenna array

A calibration system, in a transmitter chip, selects a first transmit path for a first transmit signal and a second transmit path for a second transmit signal. The plurality of transmit paths are associated with a plurality of antenna elements. A first signal parameter of the second transmit signal is adjusted relative to the first signal parameter of the first transmit signal to maximize a first signal strength value of an added signal or minimize a second signal strength value of a subtracted signal. An offset of the first signal parameter is calibrated based on the adjusted first signal parameter in the second transmit path. A value of a second signal parameter is calibrated based on a matching of the second signal parameter in the second transmit path relative to the second signal parameter in the first transmit path.
