On the structure and performance of a novel blind source separation based carrier phase synchronization error compensator

In this paper we carry out a detailed performance analysis of a novel blind-source-seperation (BSS) based DSP algorithm that tackles the carrier phase synchronization error problem. The results indicate that the mismatch can be effectively compensated during the normal operation as well as in the rapidly changing environments. Since the compensation is carried out before any modulation specific processing, the proposed method works with all standard modulation formats and lends itself to efficient real-time custom integrated hardware or software implementations.

Joint compensation of IQ-imbalance and carrier phase sychronization errors in communication receivers

This work addresses the joint compensation of IQimbalances and carrier phase synchronization errors of zero- IF receivers. The compensation scheme based on blind-source separation which provides simple yet potent means to jointly compensate for these errors independent of modulation format and constellation size used. The low-complexity of the algorithm makes it a suitable option for real-time deployment as well as practical for integration into monolithic receiver designs.

On the performance of a blind source separation based I/Q-corrector

I and Q Channel phase and gain mismatches are of great concern in communications receiver design. In this paper we carry out a detailed performance analysis of the Blind-Source Seperation (BSS) based imbalance compensation structure. The results indicate that the BSS structure can offer adequate performance for most communication systems. Since the compensation is carried out before any modulation specific processing, the proposed compensation method works with all standard modulation formats.
