Summary The aim of this article is to design a simple receiver, which can jointly estimate the frequency selective channel impulse response, frequency independent transmit/receive IQ imbalance, and carrier frequency offset with minimal training and implementation complexity. The estimation of carrier frequency offset is performed using 2 scalable solutions. To estimate the frequency selective channel impulse response and frequency independent transmit/receive IQ imbalance, we proposed 2 different estimation techniques. The first technique is an iterative approach stemming from a doubly linear model of the transmission system in the presence of transmit/receive IQ imbalance and frequency selective channel impulse response, while the second approach is a least squares solution. Both these schemes provide a good performance/complexity trade‐off. Although the iterative estimates of channel impulse response are not optimal, they do provide a near ideal bit error performance. The proposed scheme blends seamlessly with Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers 802.11 standard but can be adapted to work with any orthogonal frequency‐division multiplexing standard.
