Abstract:
The present invention relates to a radio frequency transmitter (1) comprising an I/Q modulator (2) for obtaining a modulated output signal (2a) from an in-phase signal (I) and a quadrature phase signal (Q), and an I/Q modulator control loop (3b, 3c) controlling (130) said I/Q modulator (2), characterized by an activation switch (3a) capable of activating/deactivating said I/Q modulator control loop (3b, 3c). The present invention also relates to a method of operating a radio frequency transmitter (1) comprising an I/Q modulator (2) for obtaining a modulated output signal (2a) from an in-phase signal (I) and a quadrature phase signal (Q), an I/Q modulator control loop (3b, 3c) controlling (130) said I/Q modulator (2), characterized by activating (120) said I/Q modulator control loop (3b, 3c) if a suitable calibration signal is supplied to said transmitter (1).
