Abstract

The presence of In-phase and Quadrature-phase (IQ) imbalance caused by the local oscillators in the direct-conversion Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing OFDM) transceiver system severely degrade the performance of the communication system by increasing the bit error rate (BER). In this paper, a Blind Least Square Estimation (LSE) based "1 step" scheme is proposed to estimate and compensate for the IQ imbalance caused by the receiver of OFDM systems. Several computer simulations via MATLAB were performed to ensure the performance of the proposed method. Simulations show that the proposed technique outperforms the existing method.
