Abstract
The analytical modeling of oscillator phase instability is considered. The white phase error process model is used to determine the performance degradation of a coherent PSK system. This illustrates the effect of oscillator phase instability on the performance of coherent digital communication systems. A typical family of curves showing the BER performance of a coherent PSK receiver in the presence of white phase oscillator instability is presented. The signal-to-channel noise ratio was assumed to be high and the standard deviation of the phase error was restricted to 16 degree .
