Al-Qadi}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {The inphase/quadrature (I/Q) amplitude and phase imbalance effects are studied in coherent optical orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (CO-OFDM) systems. An analytical model for the I/Q imbalance is developed and supported by simulation results. The results indicate that the I/Q imbalance degrades the BER performance considerably.}, journal = {International Journal of Electronics and Communication Engineering}, volume = {5}, number = {12}, year = {2011}, pages = {1932 - 1937}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/4837}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/60}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 60, 2011}, }
