Summary: 
Two rotational transformations are used to derive a new expression for the symbol error probability (SEP) of an M-ary phase shift keying (MPSK) with an I-Q unbalance over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and Rician fading channels. We used the new expression to investigate the effect of the I-Q unbalance on the MPSK SEP performance. Our investigation confirms that this approach is a convenient way to evaluate the average SEP of an MPSK for various cases of the Rician factor.
