Abstract

A differential quadrature PSK receiver (100) recovers serial data in a forward and reverse direction in time using a forward and reverse mode PLL (232) and decoder switch (108). The DQPSK receiver (100) is particularly useful for recovering a packet of serial data (Rx) having a time-varying signal level and a relatively long duration. Sync words in the packet (Rx) or adjacent packets (Ry) provide starting points from which the data is recovered. The direction in time of data recovery is dependent on the quality of the time-varying signal level in the packet (Rx).
