Abstract
A method of correcting quadrature signal errors comprises the steps for generating an error function signal E by summing the squares of the quadrature signals and subtracting a constant K therefrom, saving the value of the error function E at .theta. equals approximately 0, .pi./2, .pi., and 3.pi./2, using the saved values of the error function to generate signals indicative of the quadrature errors, and generating corrected quadrature signals by processing the quadrature signals to eliminate the errors.
