This paper presents a compensation algorithm for position error due to an amplitude imbalance between resolver output signals. Resolvers are typically used to obtain absolute position information for motor drive systems in severe environments. Position error is caused by an amplitude imbalance of the resolver output signals. As a result, the d- and q-axis currents of synchronous reference frame have periodic ripples in the stator fundamental frequency in permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive systems. Therefore, this paper proposes a compensation algorithm to reduce the position error generated by the amplitude imbalance. The proposed method does not require any additional hardware, and reduces computation time with a simple integral operation according to rotor position. In addition, the position error can be directly compensated for by the estimated position error. The effectiveness of the proposed compensation algorithm is verified through several simulations and experiments.

The cancellation performance of a linearization loop is limited by the degree of an amplitude imbalance and a phase imbalance. A delay mismatch causes a phase variation as a function of frequency. Therefore, the cancellation performance and linearization bandwidth are limited by a delay mismatch. The expression for the effects of an amplitude imbalance, a phase imbalance, and a delay mismatch on the characteristics of a linearization loop is derived and analyzed. The simulation results are compared with the results obtained by means of using a commercial simulation tool and the exact agreement is reported. The derived equation could be used in designing a linearization loop and predicting the cancellation performance of the linearization loop usefully. Some useful characteristics, known from the simulation results obtained by using the derived equation, of a linearization loop for designing and implementing feedforward amplifiers are described in detail.

Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) is very useful for the wireless communication system. However, OFDM is very sensitive to the radio frequency impairments. One of the most important major impairments is the IQ imbalance between in-phase(l) and quadrature(Q) branches in the up and down-conversion. IQ imbalance can be divided into phase and amplitude imbalances. These imbalances make constellation of signal to expand and rotate. The performance of system is severely degraded. In this paper, a closed-form for the bit error probability of the OFDM signal in IQ imbalance environment is derived in terms of the function of phase and amplitude imbalance parameters. So, it will be convenient and useful to evaluate the performance of OFDM communication system with IQ imbalance. It is confirmed that computer simulation results closely match with the results of the analytical derivation. When phase imbalance $\varphi=20^{\circ}$, amplitude imbalance $\varepsilon=0.1$; 0.3; 0.4; 0.5, BER at $10^{-5}$ is severely degraded by 1.8 dB, 3.12 dB, 4.72, and 8.44 dB, respectively.

차세대 광가입자망시스템에서는 전송속도 및 전송거리 향상을 위해 코히어런트 광전송 시스템이 검토되고 있다. 그런데 이 전송방식의 경우 I/Q 불균형 요인에 의해 전송 성능 저하를 일으킬 수 있으며, 가입자 수신부 내부 구조의 비대칭성은 I/Q 진폭불균형의 주 요인이 될 수 있다. 따라서 안정적인 전송 성능 보장을 위해서는 이런 불균형 성분을 제거하거나 보상해주어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 I/Q 진폭불균형의 원인 및 전송 성능에 미치는 영향을 분석하고, 수신부에서 발생하는 I/Q 진폭불균형 요인을 보상하는 방식을 제시하였다. 또한 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안한 방식의 성능을 보인다.

Resolvers are transducers that are used to sense the angular position of rotational machines. The analog resolver is necessary to use resolver to digital converter. Among the RDC software method, angle tracking observer (ATO) is the most popular method. In an actual resolver-based position sensing system, amplitude imbalance dominantly distorts the estimate position information of ATO. Minority papers have reported position error compensation of resolver's output signal with amplitude imbalance. This paper proposes new ATO algorithm in order to compensate position errors caused by the amplitude imbalance. There is no need premeasured off line data. This is easy, simple, cost-effective, and able to work on line compensation. To verify feasibility of the proposed algorithm, simulation and experiments are carried out.

We present a ring hybrid balun with additional two ${\lambda}/4$ short stubs that offers excellent amplitude and phase balance performance. The phase difference which is essentially occurred in $180^{\circ}$ ring hybrid is compensated by a ${\lambda}/4$ short stub in one output port. To compensate the amplitude imbalance inherent in the ring hybrid, the series resistance will be added to the second stub which is connected to another output port. The measured balun shows that phase imbalance is less than $2.5^{\circ}$ and magnitude imbalance is less than 0.2dB over a 1.75-2.25 GHz.

In this study, when the coherent detector has been developed and manufactured in the receiver of radar system, we have suggested and realized the 'Frequecny-Feedback correction (FFC)' that extracts its errors affecting the performance of radar, such as amplitude imbalances (k), phase imbalance ($\varphi$) between channels and offset votlages and corrects them to improve radar performances. Applying the FFC proposed, we analyzed sthe properties of the coherent detector and compared its perfomances after and before correction procdure. After the correction sequence, the amplitude imbalance was improved upt o 2dB and the phase imbalance over 9$^{\circ}$. The image rejection ratio (IRR), one of the figures of merit of radar system, was made better above 9 dB after correcting the coherent detector which possessed 23 dB before.

본 논문에서는 직접 변환 방식을 사용하는 RF 중계기에서 I/Q 불균형을 유발하는 파라미터를 분석하고 이를 추정하기 위한 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 중계기에서는 RF 신호를 기저 대역으로 변환하는 수신단에서 실수부와 허수부의 진폭, 위상 불일치 및 필터 불일치가 발생하며 기저 대역 신호를 RF 신호로 변환하는 송신단에서 진폭과 위상의 불일치가 발생하게 된다. 이에 따라 중계기 구조에서 I/Q 불균형이 발생하는 요소를 순서대로 모델링 하고, 해당 파라미터를 추정하기 위한 송신단에서 수신단으로의 피드백 시험 구조를 제안하였다. 시험 송신 신호와 수신 신호의 비교를 통해 각 실수부와 허수부 신호 성분이 섞이면서 발생한 I/Q 불균형 요소를 추정할 수 있음을 기술하였으며, 추정한 파라미터를 이용하여 직접 변환 RF 중계기에서 I/Q 불균형 현상이 적절히 보상되었음을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a low-loss broadband balun that uses a coplanar waveguide-to-slotline field transformation. It operates over a very wide frequency range and is of compact size since it does not depend on a resonant structure. To analyse imbalance, the coplanar wavelength(CPW) input ground is connected to the CPW output ground through various capacitors to introduce common-mode impedances. As the common-mode impedance increased the imbalance became significantly higher at the higher-frequency band compared with the lower-frequency band. The bias-circuit approach is used to improve the operation bandwidth of the lower-frequency band. The measured results show a passband of 200 MHz to 2 GHz, an insertion loss of less than 0.75 dB, and a size of $20{\times}14\;mm$. The amplitude imbalance is approximately 0.3 dB and the phase imbalance is less than $6^{\circ}$ over the entire operational range.
