Compensation of coherent DQPSK receiver imperfections

Abstract
This paper studies the impact of imperfections and impairments on the performance of a coherent phase-diversity DQPSK receiver. Experiments demonstrate that quadrature imbalance can be corrected by ellipse fitting and Gram-Schmidt-like orthogonalization. In addition, it is shown that intermediate frequency offset can be estimated using low complexity, feed-forward, least-square-error based algorithms.
