Abstract
A method for I/Q imbalance calibration of an OFDM system comprising the steps of initializing parameters Ap, Bp and γp, estimating a loop delay factor L, generating a discrete-time test signal x[n], deriving a signal xcom[n] by compensating the test signal x[n] according to a function with parameters Ap, Bp and γp, converting the signal xcom[n] to an analog signal x(t), applying I/Q modulation to the signal x(t) and outputting a modulated signal xmod(t), obtaining a characteristic signal xc(t) of the modulated signal, obtaining a signal xs[n] by sampling the characteristic signal xc(t) and obtaining statistics U1 and U2 of the signal xs[n], and updating the parameters Ap, Bp and γp respectively by functions of L, U1, U2, and the current values of Ap, Bp and γp.
