Hi Clark, thanks for trying out my code. The problem is that what you are seeing is *already* DQPSK.
The pilot is accounted for, it is the first symbol in every frame. Demodulating might make sense, but I guess the BER is still way too high to compensate it with channel coding. There has to be some kind of reasonable explanation for the phenomenon we are seeing... For those of you working with real OFDM data: What could be the cause of a "phase jitter", even after differential demodulation?
