ABSTRACT:
A demodulator is described for demodulating phase-encoded data signals transmitted on a noisy communication channel, such as, for example, radio communication channels of a radio communication system. The demodulator includes a digital phase-locked loop for phase-locking to the mid-bit transitions of the phase-encoded data signal, which, in the preferred embodiment is encoded according to the well known Manchester coding format, and further includes demodulating circuitry for sampling the phase-encoded data signal a predetermind number of times, weighting the samples according to predetermined weighting factors, totalizing the weighted samples for each bit interval and comparing the totalized samples to a predetermined threshold value for ascertaining the logical state of each bit of the phase-encoded data signal. For example, if the magnitude of the totalized samples is greater than or equal to the threshold value, a logical one state may be provided for the decoded data signal, and, if the magnitude of the totalized samples is less than the threshold value, a logical zero state may be provided for the decoded data signal. In preferred embodiments of the present invention, the weighting factors assigned to each sample may be either binary weighted or sine weighted, although any suitable weighting factors may be utilized depending on the characteristics of the phase-encoded data signal. The phase-encoded data signal demodulator embodying the present invention is particularly well adapted for demodulating high speed, phase-encoded data signals transmitted over radio channels to mobile and portable stations of a radio communication system.
