摘要:
The oscillator at the sending node of a wireless digital network, generates a carrier signal, starting at a first instant. A modulator coupled to the oscillator performs phase shift modulating of the carrier signal with an input signal. A spoiler signal generator is coupled to the modulator, for providing a spoiler signal as the input signal, starting at the first instant and continuing for a first duration which is longer than a period needed for the oscillator to achieve stable characteristics. A transmitter is coupled to the modulator at the sending node, for transmitting a wireless radio signal representation of the carrier signal phase shift modulated with the spoiler signal to a receiver at a receiving node. The spoiler signal in the modulated carrier signal interrupts the periodic characteristic of the pulses, and thereby prevents the carrier sensor from detecting the carrier signal. Further, the spoiler signal ceases to modulate the carrier signal after the first duration when the oscillator has achieved stable characteristics, thereby enabling the carrier sensor to detect the carrier signal.
摘要:
A carrier sensing circuit coupled to a receiving amplifier, measures the frequency of a phase shift modulated carrier signal by counting a predetermined number of the pulses for a measured interval whose duration is determined by counting a first clock count value. A demodulator coupled to the amplifier, detects when the spacing between the edges of the square wave pulses changes in response to the phase shift modulation. The demodulator measures first intervals between consecutive rising edges of the received signal, by counting clock pulses for a second selected interval whose duration is determined by a second selected count value. The demodulator further measures second intervals between consecutive falling edges of the received signal by counting clock pulses for a third selected interval whose duration is determined by a third selected count value. A compensating circuit coupled to the carrier sensing circuit and to the demodulator, compensates for frequency drift in the carrier signal or in the local oscillator by adjusting the second selected count value and the third selected count value, using the first clock count value.
摘要:
An apparatus and a method for detecting a carrier signal of a phase shift keyed modulated signal. A first counter circuit generates a plurality of counts, with each count being a number of cycles of a reference frequency signal occurring between two consecutive rising edges of an intermediate frequency signal. A comparison circuit compares a first count of reference frequency cycles to a second count of reference frequency cycles when a difference between an initial count of reference frequency cycles and a first predetermined number is less than a second predetermined number. The first predetermined number represents a time period of one cycle of the nominal center frequency, and the first count and the second count respectively represent time periods of first and second cycles of a pair of consecutive cycles of the intermediate frequency signal. The comparison circuit generates a difference signal when a difference between the first count and the second count is less than a third predetermined number. A second counter circuit counts cycles of the intermediate frequency signal and generates a carrier detect signal when a count of the intermediate frequency signal cycles equals a fourth predetermined number.
