DF-DD for channels with phase noise
Robert Schober, Lutz Lampe, Yao Ma, S. Pasupathy · IEEE Transactions on Communications · 2003
In this letter, we design decision-feedback differential detection (DF-DD) schemes for channels with phase noise. If the DF-DD feedback filter is properly optimized, a performance similar to that of a more complex scheme, recently reported by Chiavaccini and Vitetta, based on expectation maximization, can be achieved. However, it is also shown that an error floor is unavoidable for channels with phase noise. If a constraint is introduced, the DF-DD receiver can be made robust against unknown frequency offsets.
