Abstract

A demodulator responsive to a symbol containing analog signal includes a pair of relatively inexpensive analog-to-digital converters for sampling I and Q channels of the signal only once per symbol. A derotator responsive to outputs of the converters and a digital signal representing frequency and phase corrections for an input to the demodulator operates in accordance with a CORDIC function to derive I and Q channel digital signals that are compensated by the corrections. A digital phase shifter responsive to at least one of the digital I and Q signals controls when the input is sampled by the converter.
