Abstract
A distortion compensating apparatus for use in IQ modulation and demodulation techniques wherein a first distortion arrangement distorts the I-signal by adding to the I-signal a first weighted function of the I-signal and a first weighted function of the Q-signal and a second distortion arrangement distorts for Q-signal by adding to the Q-signal a second weighted function of the I-signal and a second weighted function of the Q-signal, such that the weighted functions of the I-signal are independent of the Q-signal and the weighted functions of the Q-signal are independent of the I-signal. This enable distortions to be compensated in both sidebands of the IQ modulated signal.
