ABSTRACT:
A quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) demodulator system derives a local oscillator signal which has the frequency and phase of the suppressed carrier of the QAM signal, so as to permit proper demodulation. In-phase and quadrature channels of the demodulator system each have an analog-to-digital converter with n output bits, where n is greater than m, the number of bits required for the data output for each channel. The n-m less significant bits are used to derive a signal indicating the error in phase alignment between the local oscillator signal and the QAM signal. In a phase locked loop, this error signal drives a voltage-controlled oscillator to phase lock with the suppressed carrier of the QAM signal. To acquire frequency and phase lock, a digital-to-analog converter in the loop is clocked each time the phase alignment of the VCO signal and QAM signal is close.
