Also shown are some miscellaneous tips to help complete ...

Optimization of EVM Performance in IQ Modulators

Peter Stroet - design engineer
Bruce Hemp - Applications Section Leader May 30th 2014
Introduction EVM, or error vector magnitude, is essentially a scalar measurement of digital modulation accuracy, an important figure of merit for any source of digital modulation. This note shows how a vector signal analyzer helps optimize EVM performance of IQ modulators such as the LTC5598, a 5MHz to 1600MHz high linearity ...
