Abstract

Abstract Translated from French Le démodulateur suivant l'invention utilise le fait que l'enveloppe complexe d'un signal à enveloppe constante et phase continue modulé angulairement par un train de symboles binaires peut être assimilée à une suite d'impulsions élémentaires modulées en amplitude suivant la fonction principale Fp(t) dérivée de l'impulsion de fréquence caractéristique de la modulation. Il comporte deux filtres (13, 14) adaptés à la fonction principale, recevant les composantes en quadrature formant l'enveloppe complexe du signal reçu, suivis d'echantillonneurs. Un circuit de calcul (19), calcule au rythme des éléments binaires, des incréments de métriques à partir de suites de P échantillons mis en mémoire et transmet ces incréments à un circuit de décision (20) qui décide, en mettant en oeuvre un algorithme de programmation dynamique, la valeur des éléments binaires de la suite de façon récursive. Application, notamment, à la démodulation de signaux modulés en fréquence, à phase continue d'indice 0,5. The demodulator according to the invention uses the fact that the complex envelope of a signal with constant envelope and continuous phase angularly modulated by a train of binary symbols can be assimilated to a series of elementary pulses modulated in amplitude according to the main function Fp (t) derived from the frequency pulse characteristic of the modulation. It comprises two filters (13, 14) adapted to the main function, receiving the quadrature components forming the complex envelope of the received signal, followed by samplers. A calculation circuit (19), calculates at the rate of the binary elements, increments of metrics from sequences of P samples stored in memory and transmits these increments to a decision circuit (20) which decides, by implementing an algorithm dynamic programming, the value of the binary elements of the sequence recursively. Application, in particular, to the demodulation of frequency modulated signals, with continuous phase of index 0.5.
