Abstract
In wireless communication systems, the accuracy of signal transmission is crucial to ensure reliable communication. One of the major impairments in signal transmission is IQ imbalance and phase noise. This paper investigates the evaluation of error vector magnitude (EVM) due to the combined effect of IQ imbalances and phase noise. A simulation-based approach is employed to analyze the impact of IQ imbalance and phase noise on the EVM performance of a wireless communication system. The results show that the EVM performance of the system is significantly affected by both IQ imbalance and phase noise. Furthermore, it is observed that the effect of phase noise is more significant than IQ imbalance on the EVM performance of the system.
