1. A receiver for receiving modulated coded signals, said receiver comprising:
a phase-shift-keying demodulator for demodulating said signals; and
a differential detector having a decoder for decoding said signals,
wherein said differential detector further comprises a non-linear compensator coupled to an output of said decoder for compensating a decoder output signal,
wherein said non-linear compensator comprises a channel estimator for estimating at least one coefficient of at least one term of said decoder output signal, and a remover for removing said at least one term from said decoder output signal.
