  • Patent number: 5742645
    Abstract: A method for digitally demodulating a complex modulation signal and allowing different parameters to be transmitted thereby. The input signal is baseband filtered and a complex demodulation is performed on the first subcarrier at a frequency Fp to obtain a correction signal, after squaring. The input signal is demodulated around a frequency exactly equal to twice the frequency of the first demodulation in order to obtain output signals which exhibit a frequency error with respect to 2Fp. This frequency error is corrected by multiplication with the previously derived frequency correction signal. The corrected signal is filtered at a frequency lower than 1 Hz, in order to obtain a signal giving the phase error at a frequency 0, that is to say that of the subcarrier at 2Fp. The signal makes it possible to correct the phase of signals which were previously frequency corrected in order to obtain two signals which are complementary to one another and transmitted by quadrature modulation around the frequency 2Fp.
