A radio transmitter (4) comprises an encoder (5) that receives one or more variable message bits, and encodes each message bit that has a first value as a predetermined first binary chip sequence and encodes each message bit that has the opposite value as a predetermined second binary chip sequence. The radio transmitter (4) transmits data packets, each comprising (i) a predetermined synchronisation portion, comprising one or more instances of the first binary chip sequence, and (ii) a variable data portion, comprising one or more encoded message bits output by the encoder. A radio receiver (9) receives such data packets. It uses the synchronisation portion of a received data packet to perform a frequency and/or timing synchronisation operation, and then decodes message bits from the data portion of the data packet.

A digital radio receiver adapted to receive radio signals modulated using continuous phase frequency shift keying, CPFSK. The receiver comprises means for receiving a radio signal (2), a correlator (8) arranged to estimate a frequency offset between the carrier frequency of the received radio signal and a nominal carrier frequency, means for correcting said frequency offset (4) and outputting a frequency-corrected radio signal (6), and a matched filter bank, MFB, which comprises a plurality of filters (20,22), each of which corresponds to a different bit pattern, for determining a bit sequence (36) from the frequency-corrected radio signal (6).

A digital radio receiver (7) is arranged to receive and process data frames, each data frame comprising (i) a plurality of identical synchronization sequences; (ii) identification data different from the synchronization sequences; and (iii) convolution-encoded message data. An initial-synchronization section of the receiver (7) uses the plurality of synchronization sequences in a received data frame to perform a frequency-synchronization or symbol-timing-synchronization operation. A frame-synchronization section determines frame-synchronization information by correlating at least a part of the received identification data against reference identification data stored in a memory. A convolution-decoding section uses the frame-synchronization information to decode the message data.
摘要:
A digital radio receiver is adapted to receive radio signals modulated using continuous phase modulation. The receiver includes components for receiving analogue radio signals having various carrier frequencies and a plurality of correlators corresponding to different bit sequences. Each of the plurality of correlators share a common estimator for estimating a frequency offset between the radio signals carrier frequencies and nominal carrier frequencies. The receiver further includes components allowing the estimator to determine which of the correlators produce the most optimal output signal.
