Abstract

A signal FSK-modulated with a binary data signal has first signal portions representing first logical level data contained in the binary data signal and second signal portions representing second logical level data contained in the binary data signal. Each of the first signal portions has a first frequency and lasts for a first time period and each of the second signal portions has a second frequency and lasts for a second time period. These first and second time periods are determined such that a number of cycles of the FSK-modulated signal appearing in each of the first time periods is equal to a number of cycles of the FSK-modulated signal appearing in each of the second time periods. For demodulation of the FSK-modulated signal, a time period corresponding to a predetermined number of successively appearing cycles of the modulated signal, among those appearing during the whole of each signal portion, is established, clock pulses from a clock pulse source are counted for the established time period, and the resulting count values are compared to determine whether received data is a first logical level data or second logical level data.
