- the effects of DC offset and I / Q phase mismatch on the signal strength of the output signal of the quadrature modulator are not considered. As a result, this technique will only work correctly when there is no DC offset or I / Q amplitude mismatch.
- Patent Documents 8 and 9 do not disclose this.
- Patent Documents 8 and 9 since the quadrature demodulator is used during the compensation operation, the output signal of the quadrature demodulator is converted into a digital signal by the AZD converter. After that, the IZQ phase mismatch amount is obtained, and the calculation process is performed to find the compensation amount to compensate for it. In other words, since it is necessary to obtain the IZQ phase mismatch amount and the compensation amount from the data obtained in the limited resolution range of the AZD converter, there is a problem that the accuracy of the compensation amount may deteriorate. Patent Documents 8 and 9 do not disclose how to solve this problem.
