摘要:
A synchronous detector for demodulating and decoding a digital data signal modulated either according to a vestigial sideband or a quadrature amplitude modulation scheme is based upon the principle of recognizing that a vestigial sideband signal may be regarded and treated as an offset-keyed QAM signal. The detector comprises a tuner for tuning to a center frequency symmetrically displaced within the transmitted digital data signal frequency spectrum and a decoder circuit selectively operating to reconstruct the transmitted digital data stream according to the duration of a transmitted data symbol. A related method of demodulating and decoding a modulated digital data stream comprises analogous steps of tuning to a center carrier frequency and selectively switching between in phase and quadrature arms of the demodulator such that the switch resides in one position or the other for a duration equal to half the duration of a transmitted data symbol. A related modulator for modulating a digital data signal either according to a vestigial sideband or quadrature amplitude modulation scheme comprises a switch for selectively switching an input digital data signal between real and imaginary arms and a modulator for modulating at center frequency. In one modulator embodiment, a noise cancellation circuit may be coupled between the real and imaginary arms.

The loop signal-to-noise ratio is improved in a phase-locked loop used for tracking a carrier in an angle (phase or frequency) modulated communications system by a quadrature channel added to the phase-locked loop. A d-c signal derived from the quadrature channel is added to the signal fed back to the voltage controlled oscillator in the otherwise conventional phase-locked loop.

To detect phase mismatches between in-phase and quadrature signals of a quadrature demodulator. The phase mismatches can be detected using the signals obtained by removing high frequency components of output of a multiplier by a low pass filter, the output being the product of the in-phase signals of which low frequency components are removed by a first high pass filter by the quadrature signals of which low frequency components are removed by a second high pass filter.

A direct conversion receiver includes a local oscillator for generating a first local oscillator signal having a variable frequency. A 90° phase shifter operates for shifting a phase of the first local oscillator signal by 90° to convert the first local oscillator signal into a second local oscillator signal.

A bandwidth stabilized PLL in an FPLL has an I channel including an I channel signal, having a pilot, and a Q channel signal. The DC offset, including the pilot, of the I channel signal is determined. The value of the pilot is found by subtracting the determined DC offset from the I channel signal. An error signal is developed from the known value of the transmitted pilot and the determined value of the pilot. The error signal is used to control a gain block for the Q channel for stabilizing the bandwidth of the PLL. Different embodiments are shown for controlling the gain of the PLL from both inside and outside of the PLL.
