Magnitude Error, Frequency Shift-Keying (FSK)

In FSK-modulated systems, magnitude error refers to the difference between the ideal magnitude of the I/Q signal and the actual measured magnitude on a symbol-by-symbol basis. For 2-FSK systems, for example, the magnitude error εm is defined as the average of the space and mark magnitude errors as shown in the following equation:

where

for all i.
