Abstract
A method, device and a radar system for determining phase error caused by impairments in a phase rotator comprises (a) forcing the Q path of the phase rotator to zero and obtaining a first sequence of successive measurement values, (b) forcing the I path of the phase rotator to zero and obtaining a second sequence of successive measurement, (c) forming a sequence of successive measurement value pairs, each measurement value pair comprising one measurement value from the first sequence of successive measurement values and one measurement value from the second sequence of successive measurement values (d) calculating an actual phase value for each of the successive measurement value pairs, and (e) determining the phase error by comparing the actual phase values with the corresponding reference phase values.
