Abstract

Hardware impairments and system non-linearities impacting communication signal is one of key aspect for having harmonics and RF desense which overall causing the lower quality and integrity of the modulated signal, resulting in I/Q imbalance, further bit error and spectral efficiency degradation. This presentation outlines the RF Desense results, EVM Measurement and it impact at the almost noise floor with step size by 1 dB in QPSK at LTE Bands, Note for mmW 3GPP 38.521-2 clause 6.4.2.1 indicates single polarization.
