Abstract(in English) This paper proposes a parametric method of frequency-dependent I/Q imbalance compensation for wideband quadrature modulators by means of the spectrum measurement of a radio frequency (RF) signal that is easily performed by a general purposed spectrum analyzer. The proposed method empirically estimates frequen-cy-dependent circuit parameters with only magnitude information of the frequency spectrum of the RF signal that can be fed back from the spectrum analyzer via Ethernet or GPIB. The frequency dependency in I/Q imbalance effect that is generated by the difference between the frequency responses of I and Q branches, is modeled by frequency-dependent circuit parameters. By dividing the whole signal band into several sub-bands, the transmitting signals are pre-distorted per individual sub-band in frequency domain. For estimating the frequency-dependent circuit parameters, in this paper, the modified method of steepest descent that has been developed for single-band compensation is extended to the frequency domain sub-band compensation scheme. By implementing an automatic sub-band circuit parameter estimation system, the compensation effect is demonstrated.
