Hi Matt,
Are the settings for the I and Q adjustments independent or do I have to
iterate between them for the lowest error?
They are independent, but you still need to iterate. Once the I offset
is small enough, it will be swamped by the Q offset and you won't get
enough precision to totally remove it until you also reduce Q.
Also if I am sending a 0 amplitude signal can I simply AM detect the
received signal to measure the dc error value?
Possibly, but if there is another signal coming in it will mess up your
results.
Finally what is the simplest way to synchronise receive, so I can make
sure I am associating a particular DC offset error with a corrected
transmitted block?
I can see the carrier going up and down on the Analyser but my
routine comes up with some silly values. I think it is because I have
the routine out of sync.
If you aren't using inband signalling, you'll need to proceed slowly.
Make a change, wait a little bit to make sure you are seeing its results
before you make the next one.
Matt
