SIGNAL DEMODULATOR WITH FREQUENCY-SHIFT KEYING Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: radio electronics, in particular, discrete data transmission systems, can be used for demodulation of signals with frequency-shift keying. SUBSTANCE: the device features an enhanced performance in terms of error probability due to reduced level of arrival curve distortions and distortions of the "predominance" type. It is attained due to the use of discrimination characteristic with a dead zone and without hysteresis, which allows it to reduce fluctuations of the fronts of demodulated signal, i.e. the value of arrival curve distortions. Employment of a clock pulse generator operating at a fixed frequency and a reference signal driver serving as a tunable generator of the phase-lock control system makes it possible to reduce the instability of frequency of reference oscillations decrease the random initial frequency detuning and, consequently, to decrease the level of distortions of the "predominance" type.
