1. A digital branch calibrator, comprising:
a closed loop controller to transmit a zero base band transmit signal and to receive a feedback signal correlated with a power level of an output RF transmit signal;
a digital signal processor to control the closed loop controller for transmitting the zero base band transmit signal;
a complex accumulator to decimate the feedback signal; and
an adjusting component to iteratively adjust at least one of phase and gain of at least one phasor fragment signal in a transmit path from a phasor fragmenter to generate at least one sequence of at least one of phase and gain update signals that minimize the power level;
wherein the at least one sequence of at least one of phase and gain update signals is configured to update at least one of phase and gain of data signals.
