    Abstract: A reflective modulator comprises a coupler, two diodes and two DC block units. The coupler has an input end used to output an output signal, an output end used to output an output signal, a first load end connected to one of the diodes and a second load end connected to another one of the diodes. The DC block units connect between the diodes and the coupler for DC blocking. A message signal is selectively inputted to both of the two DC block units for operating the state of the two diodes. A BPSK modulator using the reflective modulator and a quadrature modulator using the BPSK modulator are also introduced.

    Abstract: An I/Q imbalance calibration method includes sequentially inputting a first in-phase and quadrature signals calibration signal to a front-end circuit of the transmitter system to acquire and estimate a first and second calibration signal strengths sequentially, wherein a delta estimation is adopted; calculating an I/Q gain imbalance according to estimated first and second calibration signal strengths; sequentially inputting a second in-phase calibration signal and both of the second in-phase and quadrature calibration signal to the front-end circuit of the transmitter system to acquire and estimate a third and fourth calibration signal strengths sequentially, wherein an I/Q gain imbalance compensation is formed on the first in-phase and quadrature calibration signals to generate the second in-phase and quadrature calibration signals; and calculating an I/Q phase imbalance according to estimated third and fourth calibration signal strengths.

The coupler has an input end used to output an output signal, an output end used to output an output signal, a first load end connected to one of the diodes and a second load end connected to another one of the diodes. The DC block units connect between the diodes and the coupler for DC blocking. A message signal is selectively inputted to both of the two DC block units for operating the state of the two diodes. The two diodes turn on when the message signal is large enough. The two diodes turn off when the message signal is not large enough. The two diodes are implemented by PIN diodes. A BPSK modulator using the reflective modulator and a quadrature modulator using the BPSK modulator is also introduced.
