An RFID receiver uses digital down conversion to facilitate determination of the frequency of a radio frequency signal from an RFID tag and to facilitate demodulation of the signal. Two analog-to-digital converters can be configured to undersample a signal from the RFID tag. Adjacent pairs of samples can be used to determine the frequency of the radio frequency signal. The digital signal resulting from undersampling by one of the two analog-to-digital signals defines a frequency down converted signal that can be used for demodulation. Frequency down conversion facilitates the use of a field programmable gate array (FPGA) and/or a digital signal processor (DSP) for determination of the frequency and demodulation, thus eliminating costly analog components while increasing the flexibility of the receiver.

An AM demodulator includes an APC detection circuit that compares phases of an AM-modulated input signal and a signal output from a VCO. However, the APC detection circuit multiples the two signals before their comparison. As a result, even if the phases of the input signal or the signal output from the VCO is shifted by 180 degrees, the result of comparison by the APC detection circuit is not influenced by the phase shift. Moreover, when a signal detected by the AM detection circuit is in a potential range showing over-modulation, operation of a PLL circuit is stopped.
摘要:
Method and a circuit arrangement for demodulating a digital amplitude-modulated radio signal, received using a reception device, having a carrier signal and a digital information signal impressed thereon. The radio signal is split into first and second signal components having a same polarization and opposite phases, and the first and second signal components are respectively inverted and then “ANDed”.
摘要:
A digital AM demodulator, particularly for demodulating an input signal originating from a tuner, includes a first carrier generator for generating a first carrier signal which is not correlated with the input signal, and a multiplier for multiplying the first carrier signal by the input signal. Filters are arranged upstream and downstream of the multiplier for filtering undesired signals. The digital AM demodulator further includes a circuit for detecting a phase shift between a frequency of the input signal and a frequency of a local carrier signal. A correlation circuit correlates the first carrier signal with the input signal. The first carrier signal and the local carrier signal are mutually correlated, whereas the local carrier signal is not correlated with the input signal.
摘要:
An amplitude-modulated carrier signal is demodulated by passage through a limiting amplifier that converts the amplitude-modulated carrier signal to a signal of constant amplitude, and also produces a received signal strength indicator signal. The received signal strength indicator signal is used as the demodulated signal.

A method and apparatus for detecting a high frequency signal by down converting the high frequency signal to an intermediate frequency signal by mixing the high frequency signal with the harmonics of a minimal number of local oscillator frequency signals chosen so that at least one harmonic of at least one of the local oscillator frequency signals will convert any high frequency signal in a given frequency range to an intermediate signal in another given frequency range, and applying the result to detectors sensitive to signals in the intermediate frequency range.

A maximum likelihood sequence estimation capable of reducing an amount of real time calculations involved and improving a high speed follow up characteristic. N-dimensional vectors corresponding to all possible transmission sequence candidates of a prescribed length, which are pre-calculated according to a prescribed definition, are stored in a memory. Then, an estimated received signal for each one of the branches at the present sampling time is obtained by calculating an inner product of one of the N-dimensional vectors stored in the memory corresponding to each transmission sequence candidate resulting from each one of the branches reaching to each state at the present sampling time with the N-dimensional received signal vector for the present sampling time obtained from at least N received signals for at least N previous sampling times. The maximum likelihood sequence can be estimated as a survivor path for each state at the present sampling time according to this estimated received signal as usual.
摘要:
A digital demodulator utilizes voltage to frequency converters, digital counters and a computer to combine demodulation and analog to digital conversion into one step, therefore providing for in-phase and quadrature demodulation of amplitude modulated double sideband suppressed carrier signals. Accleration sinusoidal signals and phase reference pulses are input to a voltage to frequency converter and counter board which interfaces to a computer where the signals are demodulated using a digital demodulation scheme.
摘要:
Disclosed is a digital demodulation technique in which a reception modulated-wave signal is converted into a digital signal in synchronism with a sampling frequency, whereafter carrier regeneration/detection is carried out upon the digital signal to thereby output a detection signal. Then, the detection signal is subject to interpolation and resampling on the basis of a clock frequency established asynchronously with and independently of the sampling frequency, so that a timing component is extracted from the detection signal in synchronism with the clock frequency to thereby output a reception data. In the digital demodulation technique, since the sampling frequency and the clock frequency are established asynchronously with and independently of each other, jitter or the like produced in clock regeneration do not affect the carrier regeneration/detection. Consequently, noiseless reception data with little jitters can be regenerated.
