| Abstract(in English) | As the higher integration level and more complexity on RF ICs, testing of them has been becoming a important problem. RF transmitters have to satisfy the specification of error vector magnitude (EVM) which is defined according to the data rate. Since EVM measurements require expensive test instruments, alternative testing schemes have been explored, such as bit error rate (BER) measurement. BER has to satisfy the specification even under worst-case environment, but setting such environment during testing is challenging. BER is also generally low and its measurement needs long time. Therefore, BER estimation based on the measurement of the other parameters has been studied. In this paper we study on constellation analysis of RF transmitter circuits, considering the deviation of the parameters from ideal values. We show the variation of the received signals due to parametric error. We also evaluate EVM and BER by using the simulation for the modeled RF transmitter. |
