Joint Blind Compensation of Inter-Block Interference and Frequency-Dependent IQ Imbalance

In this letter, we propose a blind adaptive algorithm for joint compensation of inter-block interference (IBI) and frequencydependent IQ imbalance using a single time-domain equalizer. We combine the MERRY algorithm for IBI suppression with the differential constant modulus algorithm to compensate for IQ imbalance. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is shown through computer simulations. key words: blind algorithm, inter-block interference, IQ imbalance, timedomain equalization
