    摘要: Methods and systems for processing a single sub-channel that includes two or more combined channels. Using intermediate frequency sub-sampling, two or more channels from a broad band signal are combined into a single sub-channel for further analog and digital processing. Each of the two or more channels is down converted to an intermediate frequency, filtered to remove certain undesired channels, and combined such that the two or more channels are adjacent to each other. A digital representation of the sub-channel is produced from the combined intermediate frequency channels. Each channel within the digital representation is down converted to baseband, and the in-phase and quadrature components are separated from each other. Compared to one direct down conversion technique, intermediate frequency sub-sampling as described in the application may reduce the number of analog to digital converters and control amplifiers used in analog processing by a factor of four.

    摘要: An FM demodulator having two input terminals (11, 12), to which FM input signals having 90.degree. phase relation are applied, the said FM demodulator including a phase comparator (1) and a tunable, phase shifting circuit (2), the phase shifting circuit (2) being tuned by the FM demodulator output signal via a feedback path comprising a loop, filter. By adding a compensation filter (5) to the tuning control loop the phase shifting circuit is effectively cancelled from the tuning control loop, thereby making the tuning control loop independent of the bandwidth of the phase shifting circuit (2). Thus the bandwidth of the phase shifting circuit (2) can be reduced for threshold extension.

    摘要: An FM receiver with a modulation signal-dependent intermediate frequency (IF) filter tuning, comprising a radio frequency (RF) section, a tunable mixer stage for a down-conversion of a desired RF FM reception signal to an intermediate frequency (IF) FM signal, an IF section comprising a tunable IF filter, and an FM demodulator for demodulating the baseband modulation signal of the IF FM signal. The demodulator is coupled to a baseband signal processing device and an IF tuning control loop couples the FM demodulator to a tuning control input of the IF filter for an instantaneous tuning control of the IF filter by means of the baseband modulation signal. In order to enhance the tuning behaviour, the FM receiver includes a first amplifier-limiter connected in the IF tuning control loop between an output of the FM demodulator and the tuning control input of the IF filter. The gain of said first amplifier-limiter gradually decreases as the input signal increases. The first amplifier-limiter supplies an output signal whose amplitude increases monotonically to a limiting value for a continuous and gradual limitation of the tuning control signal in the IF tuning control loop at an increasing output signal amplitude of the FM demodulator.

    摘要: An angle modulation detector which prevents a demodulated output from being influenced by fluctuations in the amplitudes of signals generated from angle-modulated signal sources such as a phase-modulated signal and a frequency-modulated signal, even if the amplitude of a driving voltage applied to a connection between the bases of a pair of transistors constituting a phase detecting device is made larger in order to enhance the demodulation sensitivity and reduce noise produced during demodulation. As an example of a resolution, the angle modulation detector comprises two coupling devices, two current dividing devices coupled to generate a phase detecting output, a current dividing device coupled to generate a re-mixed output, and a phase detecting device, wherein the outputs of the two coupling devices are connected to the two current driving devices driven by the same signal, so that the respective input and output terminals are at the same voltage level, whereby two outputs thereof are not influenced by fluctuations in amplitudes of angle-modulated signals supplied to the coupling devices.

    摘要: A differential amplifier amplifies an FM signal supplied from an FM signal source. A phase shift circuit shifts a phase of a carrier signal included in an FM signal output from the differential amplifier. A multiplier circuit multiplies an FM signal supplied from the differential amplifier to a first balance input terminal and an FM signal supplied from the phase shift circuit to a second balance input terminal and then outputs a demodulation signal. A resistor serving as a supply means supplies an FM signal, whose carrier signal has a phase opposite to that of a carrier signal of an FM signal supplied from the differential amplifier to an output terminal of the phase shift circuit. The phase characteristics of the phase shift circuit is equivalently controlled and the phase of the FM signal supplied to the multiplier circuit controlled, thereby preventing a demodulation output from being distorted.

    摘要: An FSK demodulator is disclosed suitable for use in a CMOS IC using switched capacitor circuits. The mark and space filters are each modified to produce sine and cosine outputs. These outputs are rectified separately and the result summed. The summed outputs are passed through low pass filters and applied to a comparator which determines which of the mark and space signals is dominant. The invention substantially reduces the size of the demodulator filter capacitors and improves the demodulation signal to noise ratio.

    摘要: A low SNR symbol synchronizer utilizes two quadrature channels and a delay and multiply technique to produce four product signals. Two of the product signals are same-channel products and two are cross-channel products. When combined and applied to a synchronizing apparatus such as a Costas loop, the signals provide improved performance at low SNR and avoid the need to know the carrier frequency when setting the delay.
