Abstract:In this paper, we present a method for accurately calculating the Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) of OFDM transmitters based on their IQ mismatch, IIP3, noise, AM/AM and AM/PM distortion. The effects of these impairments are correlated. Thus, modeling and analyzing them in isolation results in large errors. We derive the analytical relation of the received symbol when all types of impairments are present at once and compute EVM based on this overall relation. This method helps test engineers to compute the EVM ba… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
