Stochastic demodulator for phase jump-modulated signals, operating in time divided up over several channels
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A demodulation process for phase jump-modulated signals, in particular for the processing in time divided up over a plurality of transmission channels, comprising the steps of:
- sampling and coding said signals on reception;
interpolating said sampled and coded signals in such a way as to obtain a whole number n of samples for each information symbol;
comparing with a fixed reference signal the phase deviation of each sample obtained after interpolation is calculated, wherein the thus calculated phase deviation of each sample is compared with the phase deviation calculated in the same way for the sample preceding the sample under consideration by n units;
code converting the result of the said comparison by comparing with a phase jump value having different comparison results, but which are in a same range of values;
starting a counter when the results of said comparison cross a threshold with said threshold corresponding to a given number of samples taken from a series of successive samples and all belonging to the same range of values; and
validating the result of said comparison when said counter reaches a given state to thereby output a demodulated signal.

Abstract
The demodulator therefore features a multiplexer connected to the different transmission channels. The output of the multiplexer is connected to a sampler-coder, followed by an interpolator, which is itself followed by a phase jump converter and a statistical decision device validating the code conversion result, when a certain number of samples taken in a series of successive samples have a phase jump in the same range of values.
