Vector (quadrature) modulators are used to transfer complex signal in form I(t)+jQ(t) from zero in frequency domain to IF or carrier frequency. These modulators are also referred to as I/Q-modulators. They are specified by the following parameters: - RF output frequency range;
- I/Q bandwidth (or max. baseband);
- Quadrature phase error;
- Amplitude imbalance;
- Carrier suppression;
- Signal-to-Noise ratio (SNR);
- One-decibel compression point (P1dB);
- 3-rd order interception point (IP3);
- Path gain.
