Abstract
In this contribution the transmission of M-PSK and M-QAM modulated orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) signals over an additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel is considered. The degradation of the bit error rate (BER), caused by the presence of carrier frequency offset and carrier phase noise is analytically evaluated. It is shown that for a given BER degradation, the values of the frequency offset and the linewidth of the carrier generator that are allowed for OFDM are orders of magnitude smaller than for single carrier systems carrying the same bit rate. >

Estimation and Compensation of I/Q Imbalance in OFDM Direct-Conversion Receivers

TL;DR: Two methods for I/Q imbalance compensation are proposed: the maximum-likelihood estimation (MLE)-based method and the least-square estimation (LSE-based method, which are robust against different gain and phase imbalances.
