In digital communication modems in which a very high rate system clock is used, it is necessary to use analog base-band shaping filters in the inphase (I) and quadrature (Q) paths of the modulator.

Abstract
In digital communication modems in which a very high rate system clock is used, it is necessary to use analog base-band shaping filters in the inphase (I) and quadrature (Q) paths of the modulator. However, this type of implementation inherently produces a mismatch of the I and Q paths. In the present paper, results of the analysis of the transmitter (TX) I/Q mismatch in an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) system with Differential Coherent Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (DQPSK) modulation is presented. Theoretical analysis shows that the Signal-to-Noise (SNR) degradation due to the I/Q mismatch can be represented by a mismatch transfer function on the basis of which one can compute the maximum affordable amplitude and phase mismatch of the TX filters transfer functions.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
