Design engineers can use measurements of the error vector magnitude, frequency
error, phase noise, and the transmit power envelope to identify the sources of
degraded WLAN transmitter performance. In particular, techniques are described
to identify and troubleshoot the impacts of amplitude, phase, and group delay
imbalances between the I and Q channels, phase noise, spurious signals and
transient effects, and signal compression on transmitter performance....
