Embodiment Construction

[0052] The purpose of the present invention is to calibrate an analog I / Q modulator in a high frequency transmitter so as to achieve sufficiently high modulation accuracy and carrier suppression. This method does not require any equalization. This is achieved by means of special test signals and associated estimates. The method can utilize various sensors to estimate the transmitted high-frequency signal; for estimation, linear or nonlinear level indicators and I / Q demodulators can be used. In this case, the level indicator exhibits a strictly monotonic transfer characteristic between the input variable to be estimated (eg current power) and its output signal level.

[0053] Figure 1 shows an I / Q modulator 1 with a compensation circuit 2 as part of a transmitter (not shown here).

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and device for calibrating an analog I / Q modulator in a high-frequency transmitter. The object of the present invention is to provide a method and associated circuit device. By using the method and the associated circuit device, the I / Q modulator is executed. calibration without the need for equalization operations, thus minimizing complexity. According to the invention, in terms of the method, this object is achieved in the following steps: According to the method, in three method steps, an I / Q modulator generates a transmission signal and estimates said transmission signal in each case and stores the estimate Result; In a fourth method step, improved compensation coefficients are calculated based on the results of the previous estimation, which can be used in subsequent method runs; the operation of the method is repeated until the amplitude of the I / Q modulator and / Either the error in the phase response is less than a predetermined threshold or the method reaches a predetermined number of runs.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for calibrating an analog I / Q modulator in a high-frequency transmitter, wherein, prior to the I / Q modulation, in the in-phase path and in the quadrature-phase path by means of first and second compensation coefficients, respectively Weights the input signal and produces an output signal. [0002] The invention also relates to a device for calibrating an analog I / Q modulator in a high-frequency transmitter, having compensation means connected upstream of the analog I / Q modulator for correcting the amplitude and Phase imbalance. [0003] In communication engineering, to transmit information via radio, a transmitter employing an analog I / Q modulator is used to generate a transmission signal. [0004] Typically, there are special requirements for such transmitters with regard to modulation accuracy and carrier and sideband suppression of the I / Q modulator. Here, there is the problem that the amplification in the in-phase...
