Abstract

A baseband detector includes a complex differential detector, a constellation point computer, and a phase shift keying (PSK) decoder. The complex differential detector outputs complex values in response to digitized samples derived from a received baseband signal. The PSK decoder generates decoded bits representing information symbols by determining in minimum distance between the complex values and plural constellation points provided by the constellation point computer. The constellation point computer can adaptively generate the constellation points based on a training sequence of information symbols and their corresponding complex valued outputs from the complex differential detector. The baseband detector can be used for frequency shifting keying (FSK) and differential phase shift keying (DPSK) demodulation in direct conversion receivers (DCRs).
