Abstract
Abstract A frequency shift keying method which comprises the steps of transmitting N signals having different shift patterns which correspond to N code elements and whose frequency is varied in the entire allocated frequency band during one clock period, comparing N heterodyne detector outputs provided by N local signals for receiving, having each frequency shift pattern synchronized to N transmitting signals, each of said local signals having a constant frequency difference from the transmitting signals, and detecting the heterodyne detector circuit having the maximum output whereby the transmitted code element is detected and reproduced.
