L. Chen et al., BLIND PHASE RECOVERY IN QAM COMMUNICATION-SYSTEMS USING HIGHER-ORDER STATISTICS, IEEE signal processing letters, 3(5), 1996, pp. 147-149
In this letter we present a method for phase recovery in QAM communica
tion systems based on higher order statistics. Under the assumption th
at the QAM signals have independent, identically distributed (i.i.d.)
in-phase and quadrature components, we derive the relation between the
phase error and the fourth-order cumulant of the output, Numerical pe
rformance of the approach is demonstrated by computer simulation.
