IN-PHASE AND QUADRATURE-PHASE IMPAIRMENTS COMPENSATION IN SUB-TERAHERTZ COMMUNICATION

Abstract:

IQ impairments compensation in sub-terahertz (sub-THz) communication is disclosed. According to some aspects, a user equipment (UE) determines an estimated in-phase (I) and quadrature phase (Q) impairment of the UE, the IQ impairment of the UE comprising a mismatch of phase and/or amplitude, between an I path and a Q path within an analog receiver circuitry of the UE, and reports the estimated IQ impairment of the UE to a base station (BS). The BS determines a pre-compensation to compensate for the estimated IQ impairment of the UE and uses the determined pre-compensation when transmitting to the UE.
