Patent number: 5412694Abstract: A data demodulator wholly consisting of digital circuits for time division multi-access (TDMA) signals subjected to differential phase-shift-keying (DPSK) is provided. The data demodulator generates a phase difference signal by subjecting .pi./4-shift quadrature phase-shift-keying (.pi./4 QPSK) signals to delayed detection of phase in synchronism with N-phase clock signals (where N is a positive integer), and reproduces a resulting phase difference signal into decision data. A first such data demodulator detects decision errors from the phase difference signal and decision data, and achieves symbol synchronism by sampling the decision data in a clock signal phase involving little decision error. A second such data demodulator supplies the phase difference signal after correcting its D.C. offset due to a frequency drift. In these two data demodulators, the formulas for computing said decision errors and correction values are flexibly varied according to preceding burst information.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 1993Date of Patent: May 2, 1995Assignee: NEC CorporationInventors: Toshifumi Sato, Takayuki Shibata, Hideo Ohmura
