A novel amplitude deviation correction circuit which corrects an amplitude
deviation between an I signal and a Q signal is disclosed. An average
amplitude deviation between an I signal amplified by a variable gain
amplifier and a Q signal amplified by another variable gain amplifier is
detected by an amplitude comparison circuit, and +1 volt or -1 volt is
outputted in response to a result of the detection. An integration
circuit integrates the output of the amplitude comparison circuit and
controls the gains of the variable gain amplifiers in response to a
result of the integration.
