ABSTRACT:
An integrated burst FSK receiver is provided to receive and interpret an RF signal using FSK modulation. The integrated burst FSK receiver uses a programmable RF local oscillator to mix a received signal down to an IF range or baseband, where it is filtered and sampled for subsequent digital processing. Digital filtering and detection are employed to improve overall bit error rate performance and receiver sensitivity. A programmable digital low-pass or band-pass filter can also be used to suppress interference. A matched filter correlator can be used for detection and symbol timing adjustment in one mode, while an adaptive frequency comparator can be used in another mode. Circuits are provided that estimate carrier offset, frequency deviation and signal strength. These measurements can then be used to optimize the receiver performance. A method for receiving and interpreting an RF signal using FSK modulation is also provided.
