Abstract
Power amplifier (PA) nonlinearity and in-phase and quadrature-phase (I/Q) imbalance are major concerns for wireless transmitters. In this paper, we present a new closed-form expression for the probability density function (PDF) of I and Q components in the presence of transmitter's impairments and propose a blind post-compensation approach for the mitigation of these impairments. These impairments include static PA nonlinearity and frequency-independent I/Q imbalance. The accuracy of the analytical PDF is evaluated using Kullback-Leibler divergence and Hellinger square distance. Simulation results show a reasonable correspondence between the derived PDF and non-parametric kernel density estimation-based PDF. After a closed-form PDF is obtained, higher order statistics-based method is used to estimate PA nonlinearity in the presence of I/Q impairments. Finally, a maximum-likelihood estimation of I/Q imbalance parameters is obtained using the analytical PDF. Simulation results show a normalized mean-squared error (NMSE) of around -40 dB and an adjacent channel power ratio of around -53 dBc, along with an error vector magnitude (EVM) of around 1%, for a 3-MHz local thermal equilibrium signal. Using laboratory measurements, an NMSE of around -35 dB and an EVM of 1.5% are achieved.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
