Abstract
An algorithm for the calculation of optimized error vector magnitude (EVM) and offset vector magnitude (OVM) parameters for m-ary PSK baseband modulators (BMs) is presented. It does not require the regeneration of an ideal reference signal but is based on a mixed time and frequency domain software digital signal processing of a short (256 symbol) random data test signal. The frequency domain processing is required for phase rotation compensation. An automatic test equipment (ATE) implementation of the algorithm as part of an IS-136 π/4 DQPSK baseband modulator IC production line quality control is described, together with some typical measurement results.
