Methods and devices for IQ time skew and conjugation compensation and calibration of a coherent transmitter or transceiver are described. A pilot tone is combined with a digital data signal such that relative powers of the pilot tone in each of two frequency bands of the transmitted data signal may be detected by a pilot tone detector and used to calculate the time skew between I and Q modulation channels of the transmitter. A transmitter DSP applies IQ time skew bias to the data signal to compensate for any calculated IQ time skew. The pilot tone detector also provides the transmitter DSP with the information necessary to detect phase conjugation of the optical signal, which can be corrected by inverting the polarity of the data signal or changing the phase bias point of the optical modulator.
