Patent ID: 7492838

Claim:
An apparatus for compensating for a phase mismatch in a Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK) demodulator, the apparatus comprising: a phase mismatch extractor module for generating a signal including a phase mismatch function by mixing an I-channel demodulation signal and a Q-channel demodulation signal, which are output signals of a phase shifter, and extracting the phase mismatch function by filtering the generated signal; and a phase mismatch compensator module for digital-converting the phase mismatch function, mapping the digital-converted phase mismatch function to a first compensation signal for, generating a second compensation signal for by mixing the digital-converted phase mismatch function with a baseband I-channel signal, generating a third compensation signal for by adding a baseband Q-channel signal to the second compensation signal, and mixing the first compensation signal with the third compensation signal.
