A method of determining a gain nonlinearity receives a phase difference and generates an output frequency based on the received phase difference. The method reconstructs a waveform by using the output frequency. The method preprocesses the phase difference to generate a comparison waveform. The method compares the reconstructed waveform to the comparison waveform and determines a gain nonlinearity based on the comparison between the reconstructed and comparison waveforms. A modulation system includes a voltage controlled oscillator for receiving an input signal based on a phase difference and generating an output frequency. The system further includes a waveform reconstructor and a comparator. The waveform reconstructor is coupled to the voltage controlled oscillator, and is for reconstructing a waveform based on the output frequency. The comparator is coupled to the waveform reconstructor, and is for comparing the output of the waveform reconstructor with the input signal. The comparator is configured for determining a gain nonlinearity exhibited by the voltage controlled oscillator. Particular embodiments further include a compensator.
