Abstract: A multi-phase PSK modulation apparatus includes a multi-phase PSK modulator and baseband signal modification circuitry which modifies the baseband signal in accordance with modulation frequencies to correct all or a portion of any offset error, amplitude error and orthogonality errors. The baseband signal modification circuitry permits error correction over a wide range of frequencies using a rather simple arrangement. In addition, spurious outputs, volume and cost of the apparatus are reduced.
