Abstract: The continuous phase angular demodulation method disclosed digitally processes the signal in baseband after having over-sampled it with reference to the bit period. The processing consists in routinely demodulating sub-sets of differential phases at the bit period T.sub.b shifted with respect to one another by fractions T.sub.b /q of this period, in correcting them, a priori, by the phase deviations associated with a set of pre-defined d frequency drifts and in computing, for the d.q sets thus obtained, a noise criterion. The set of demodulated bits chosen is the one that reduces this noise criterion to the minimum. The set of bits then enables computation of the phase variation emitted and, using this variation and the measured variation, the real frequency drift. Another demodulation taking this drift into account is done for the q sets of initial differential stages and the set minimizing the noise criterion is then chosen and fixes the synchronization bit by the sampling instants associated with it.

Abstract: A method and device are provided for multistate modulation and demodulation with adjustable protection level, consisting in separating the binary signals, before demodulation, into critical and non critical signals, in attributing to the non critical signals all the states of the modulation and in attributing to the critical signals a reduced number of states which are, in the modulation diagram, the furthest removed from each other.

Abstract: The symbol synchronization method for the symbol demodulation of a digital signal uses E sequences of samples taken from the demodulated signal, each sequence being offset with respect to the following one by a fraction of the symbol period Ts/E. On the basis of each one of E sequences of samples (Si1,Si2, . . . SiN) ranging from from i=0 to E-1, a value F(i) of a pre-defined function F, optimized according to the type of modulation made at emission, is calculated. This function, which can be identified with a sine model, A+B COS(i-io)2.pi./E, can be used to determine io characteristic of the synchronization time-shift and, if necessary, A, characteristic of the d.c. offset, and B, characteristic of the variation in levels due to reception conditions. These values are used to correct the synchronization signal and, if necessary, the d.c. and the decision thresholds of the decision circuit during the symbol demodulation.

Abstract: The demodulator is for use with an angle modulated signal conveying a sequence of binary symbols. The signal is modulated at constant envelope and with continuous phase and may be treated as a sequence of elementary pulses that have been amplitude modulated using a principal function F.sub.p (t) derived from the frequency pulse characteristic of the modulation. The demodulator comprises two filters matched to the principle function and connected to receive quadrature components constituting the complex envelope of the received signal. The filters are followed by samplers. A calculating circuit operating at the bit rate calculates metric increments on the basis of P stored complex samples and transmits the increments to a decision circuit which performs a dynamic programming algorithm to determine the values of the bits in the sequence recursively.

Abstract: A device for demodulating signals modulated by frequency-shift keying comprises a surface-wave filter having two input transducers supplied in parallel by the modulated signals and separated by a given distance, and an output transducer composed of electrodes e.sub.1 to e.sub.n+1 and e'.sub.1 to e'.sub.n+1. The signals delivered by the electrodes e'.sub.1 to e'.sub.n+1 are applied to the inputs of an algebraic summing device through switches I.sub.1 to I.sub.n+1 controlled by logical signals T.sub.1 to T.sub.n+1. The output of the summing device is connected to the output of the demodulating device through a threshold device; programming of the signals T.sub.1 to T.sub.n+1 makes it possible to provide a filter which is matched with the signals to be demodulated.

Abstract: The herein disclosed synchronization extractor is designed to recover a train of useful pulses of given recurrence period T from an input signal containing both useful pulses and parasitic pulses. Each period T is divided into n sampling intervals of a duration less than or equal to that of the pulses. The pulses present in the several intervals are respectively counted by n reversible counters. Backward-counting pulses, having a recurrence period which is greater than the period T but less than the recurrence periods of the parasitic pulses, are applied to the counters simultaneously. The useful pulses are collected from that counter in which the mean rate of the forward-counting pulses exceeds that of the backward-counting pulses.
