IQ-imbalance and its compensation for non-ideal analog receivers comprising frequency-selective components
نویسنده
چکیده
Within current implementations of mobile terminals, more and more analog components are replaced by appropriate digital processing. On the one hand, the analog front-ends become less complex. On the other hand, more digital signal processing is required to compensate for the spurious effects of the front-end. In this article, the frequency-selective imbalance of the in-phase and quadrature-phase signals is addressed. A closed representation of arbitrary signals being processed by an arbitrary imbalanced analog front-end is provided. The analysis is valid for both, direct conversion and intermediate frequency (IF) reception. With the consideration of practical variations of amplitude and phase impairments, the influence of only the frequency-dependent portions of the impairments is investigated. It is shown, that the compensation of the quasilinear impairments is sufficient and complex deconvolutive IQ-regeneration procedures are not stringently required to obtain sufficient signal qualities.

Efficient Compensation of Transmitter and Receiver IQ Imbalance in OFDM Systems
Radio frequency impairments such as in-phase/quadrature-phase (IQ) imbalances can result in a severe performance degradation in direct-conversion architecture-based communication systems. In this paper, we consider the case of transmitter and receiver IQ imbalance together with frequency selective channel distortion. The proposed training-based schemes can decouple the compensation of transmitt...
متن کاملJoint compensation of IQ imbalance and frequency offset in OFDM systems
Zero-IF receivers are gaining interest because they enable low-cost WLAN OFDM terminals. However, Zero-IF receivers introduce IQ imbalance which may have a huge impact on the performance. Rather than increasing component cost to decrease the IQ imbalance, an alternative is to tolerate the IQ imbalance and compensate it digitally. Current solutions converge too slow for bursty WLAN communication...
متن کاملCompensation of IQ imbalance in OFDM systems
Today a lot of attention is spent on developing inexpensive OFDM receivers. Especially, zero-IF receivers are very appealing, because they avoid costly IF filters. However, this implies IQ demodulation at RF, which therefore cannot be done digitally and thus introduces IQ mismatch. Unfortunately, OFDM is very sensitive to receiver IQ imbalance. Therefore, we developed a new compensation scheme ...

Currently, multiband orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MB-OFDM) is considered to be one of the modulation schemes of UWB and is being actively investigated. It is necessary to provide lowcost receivers for consumers to receive wide support for the MB-OFDM system. Such receivers can be achieved by utilizing direct-conversion architecture. Direct-conversion architecture suffers from IQ ...
