Abstract
An apparatus and method for compensating an imbalance of phase and gain between I-channel and Q-channel by using variable loop gains is disclosed. The apparatus includes: a phase error generator for generating a phase error signal by using the I-channel signal and the Q-channel signal; an average value calculator for calculating an average value of the phase error signal; a comparator for comparing the average value with a predetermined threshold; a selector for selecting a loop gain value among a set of loop gains based on the comparison result; a phase imbalance generator for generating a phase imbalance by using the selected loop gain value; and a compensator for compensating the Q-channel signal based on the phase imbalance.
