Abstract
A communication system having a carrier oscillator for generating a carrier of predetermined frequency, a quadrature modulator for orthogonally modulating the carrier by input baseband I and Q signals and outputting a quadrature modulation wave, and a quadrature demodulator for orthogonally demodulating the quadrature modulation wave using the carrier and outputting demodulation baseband I and Q signals. The phase of the carrier input to the quadrature demodulator is shifted by a predetermined amount in accordance with a phase shift signal. The amplitude of the demodulation baseband I and Q signals output from the quadrature demodulator is corrected on the basis of a control signal, and demodulation baseband I and Q signals thus corrected are output. The amplitude of the input baseband I and Q signals is corrected on the basis of the control signal, and the baseband I and Q signals thus corrected are input to the quadrature modulator. An amplitude error is detected between the amplitude-corrected demodulation baseband I and Q signals. The control signal is generated so that amplitude coincides between the baseband I and Q signals of the quadrature modulation wave coincide and between the demodulation baseband I and Q signals output from the quadrature demodulator on the basis of the detected amplitude error.
