Abstract

A disclosed quadrature modulation system inputs an inphase signal component and an orthogonal signal component, and outputs an output signal that is quadrature modulated by a quadrature modulator. The quadrature modulation system calculates a first cumulative total based on the inphase signal component input into the quadrature modulator and an inphase signal component of a feedback signal obtained from the output signal. The quadrature modulation system calculates a second cumulative total based on the orthogonal signal component input into the quadrature modulator and an orthogonal signal component of the feedback signal. Based on the first and the second cumulative totals, a time difference between the inphase signal component and the orthogonal signal component is determined. The inphase signal component and the orthogonal signal component to be provided to the quadrature modulator are adjusted based on the time difference such that the time difference is compensated for.
