Ideally the RF component's I/Q vectors should be orthogonal, but usually they are not. So we need to calibrate for the RF components, ex. PA/LNA, ADC/DAC. And if the I/Q vectors are more orthogonal, the mixed signal will have less deviation. This helps with those rates with higher modulation (MCS8-9), because they have more strict EVM/SNR requirement. Also the better of the quality of the signal, the longer it can propagate, and the better throughput performance we can get. Yan-Hsuan
