Abstract
Abstract A demodulator for a composite PSK-PSK modulated signal having a 2 n -phase main data signal and a 2-phase subdata signal including a frame signal, said demodulator comprising an orthogonal detector 21 producing two orthogonally demodulated signals P, Q, a subdata reproducing section 50 for phase-shifting the orthogonal signals and multiplying together the phase-shifted signals to reproduce the subdata signal, a lock-in phase discriminator 42 for detecting the frame synchronization, and a main data reproducing section 51 for phase-shifting and switching the orthogonal signals in response to the phase discriminator and the reproduced subdata signal to reproduce the main signal.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
164 words
A demodulating device for demodulating a composite PSK-PSK modulated wave comprising a 2 n -phase (n being a positive integer) PSK modulated wave carrying a main signal and a 2-phase modulated wave carrying a subdata signal having a data rate no faster than that of said main data signal, said subdata signal including a frame signal, comprising: a phase synchronizing demodulator for providing two orthogonally demodulated signals in response to said composite PSK-PSK modulated wave; first means connected to said phase synchronizing demodulator for reproducing said subdata signal from said two orthogonally demodulated signals; second means for extracting said frame signal from the reproduced subdata signal and discriminating the phase locked state in said phase synchronizing demodulator in response to said reproduced subdata signal and the extracted frame signal; and third means connected to said phase synchronizing demodulator and said second means for reproducing said main data from said two orthogonally demodulated signals in response to said frame signal and said reproduced subdata signal.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
164 words
A demodulating device for demodulating a composite PSK-PSK modulated wave comprising a 2 n -phase (n being a positive integer) PSK modulated wave carrying a main signal and a 2-phase modulated wave carrying a subdata signal having a data rate no faster than that of said main data signal, said subdata signal including a frame signal, comprising: a phase synchronizing demodulator for providing two orthogonally demodulated signals in response to said composite PSK-PSK modulated wave; first means connected to said phase synchronizing demodulator for reproducing said subdata signal from said two orthogonally demodulated signals; second means for extracting said frame signal from the reproduced subdata signal and discriminating the phase locked state in said phase synchronizing demodulator in response to said reproduced subdata signal and the extracted frame signal; and third means connected to said phase synchronizing demodulator and said second means for reproducing said main data from said two orthogonally demodulated signals in response to said frame signal and said reproduced subdata signal.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
37 words
A demodulating device, as recited in claim 1, wherein said first means comprises 2 n-1 phase shifters (26-29) and multiplying means (30-32) for multiplying together the outputs of said phase shifters and said two orthogonally demodulated signals.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
29 words
A demodulating device, as recited in claim 2, wherein said phase shifters comprise arithmetic means (2, 3) for summing and differencing weighted values of said two orthogonally demodulated signals.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
67 words
A demodulating device, as recited in claim 1, wherein said third means comprises: phase shifters (39, 40, 43, 44); one or more first switches (35, 36) controlled by the output of said discriminating means (42) for switching the outputs of said phase shifters; and one or more second switches (37, 38) controlled by said reproduced subdata signal (OUT 3) for switching the outputs of said first switches.
