Abstract
An inexpensive, compact digital radio receiver corrects IQ imbalance, non-orthogonal I and Q phases, and DC offset by a DSP. The digital radio receiver is equipped with an antenna, an RF/IF converter for converting a radio frequency into an intermediate frequency, an IQ separator for separating I and Q, a filter for eliminating a noise such as a radio frequency, a multiplying sampler for sampling the output of the filter, and a digital signal processing unit mainly comprised of the DSP which implements an algorithm for estimating and correcting an IQ distortion and also performs quadrature phase demodulation. The IQ distortion can be removed inexpensively by making use of a part of a standard radio operation, hardly requiring the use of hardware for adjustment.
