ABSTRACT:
An offset QPSK demodulator samples inphase and quadraphase channels at the data rate and derives carrier phase and clock phase control signals even if the samples are hard limited. The demodulator may be fabricated as a low cost integrated circuit. In one embodiment, a data clock having a 50% duty cycle clocks D flip-flops to store inphase data samples and quadraphase control samples upon rising clock transitions, and to store inphase control samples and quadraphase data samples upon falling clock transitions. To generate a tristate carrier phase control signal, an inphase exclusive-OR gate compares the inphase control samples to the complement of the quadraphase data samples, and a quadraphase exclusive-OR gate compares the quadraphase control samples to the inphase data samples. To generate a tristate clock phase control signal, an inphase exclusive-OR gate compares the inphase control samples to the inphase data samples, and a quadraphase exclusive-OR gate compares the quadraphase control samples to the quadraphase data samples. Transition-detecting D flip-flops and exclusive-OR gates enable the outputs of the respective control signal-generating exclusive-OR gates to assert active tristate signals for one-half data bit periods only when there is a transition in the data samples of the respective channel. The transition-indicating signals are logically ORed to provide differentially decoded data.
