A simple model is used to estimate the Q factor in numerical simulations of differential phase shift keying (DPSK) with optical delay demodulation and balanced detection. It is found that an alternative definition of Q is needed for DPSK in order to have a more accurate prediction of the bit error ratio (BER).
