Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) transmission correction module includes an RF transmission error detection module and a correction module. The error detection module includes an RF envelope detector, a signal conversion module, and an error detection module. The RF envelope detector is operably coupled to produce an envelope signal from a transmit RF signal, wherein the envelope signal represents at least one of local oscillation leakage and in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) imbalance. The signal conversion module is operably coupled to convert the envelope signal into an error signal in accordance with baseband processing of the transmit RF signal. The error detection module is operably coupled to determine at least one of a local oscillation leakage value and an I and Q imbalance value from the error signal.

Abstract: The operating method is based on the simultaneous application of FM and AM. In this process, the fundamental frequency of the AM is derived from at least one, preferably the second, longitudinal mode. In continuous operation of the lamp, the color temperature is set for a prescribed power by setting the AM degree controllably.

Abstract: The operating method is based on the simultaneous application of FM and AM, and is distinguished by passing through three operating states, specifically a warm-up phase, an impressing phase and the continuous operation. In the warm-up phase, the f002_hor is selected as fundamental frequency of the AM, or an AM is dispensed with. The impressing phase is distinguished by a temporally changing AM deviating from the conditions of the continuous operation and having an AM degree different from zero. In the continuous operation, constant conditions of the AM in the case of which the f002_hor is reached as fundamental frequency of the AM, and the AM degree is at 20 to 25% are characteristic.
