Frequency Domain IQ Imbalance Correction Scheme for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) Systems

Overview Future, high bit rate communication systems tolerate very little error in the modulation. This means that conventionally negligible error sources like the imbalance between the in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) branches of the receiver can start limiting the performance of the system. This is especially true when at the same time cheaper, smaller, more robust and more versatile analog front ends are required from the RF designers. This paper describes the sources and the effect of the IQ imbalance as well as a new method for correcting the error due to the imbalance in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems.

TI's 'turbo Wi-Fi' - still born?

In the 802.11g standards battle, PBCC eventually lost ground to OFDM, or Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing, as the modem of choice. The equipment costs the same as other Wi-Fi networks but downloads files at double the rate.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?
