Abstract

Methods, systems, and devices are described for compensating for a coarse frequency offset between a received optical signal and a local oscillator at a demodulator. Multiple samples are received of an output of a discrete Fourier transform performed on the received optical signal. A magnitude of each sample is determined, and the determined magnitudes may be filtered by a digital domain filter. A difference is computed between the determined magnitudes for a first set of the samples and the determined magnitudes for a second set of the samples, and a local oscillator correction factor is generated based on at least the computed difference.
