Abstract
A first AFC apparatus receives and detects I and Q signals from a received first FSK signal with a local osc signal; demodulates the I and Q signals; F/V-converts I or/and Q signals into a voltage; compares it with a reference; and detects a frequency deviation direction of the local osc signal from the carrier signal according to the results of comparing and the demodulating. The local osc frequency is controlled by a given amount according to the result of the frequency deviation direction detection. A second AFC apparatus receives and detects I and Q signals using a first osc signal; FSK-modulates the I and Q signals with a second local osc signal having a lower frequency than the first local osc signal; and compares the frequency of the second FSK signal and the second local osc signal to supply a demodulation result. A frequency control for the first local osc signal is obtained by an averaging circuit averaging the modulation result. The F/V converter used in this apparatus has various modification and amplitude limiter may be provided as necessary. The averaging may be effected for a given data period of the first FSK signal. Power consumption can be reduced by selectively s…
