Abstract

A method and apparatus for phase-domain semi-coherent demodulator including a receiver for receiving at least a phase component of an input signal. The phase domain semi-coherent demodulator may include a decision unit for forming a decision based on a delayed reference signal and the phase component of the input signal. In addition the phase domain semi-coherent demodulator may include a phase sum adder for subtracting the decision from the phase component of the input signal to form a rotated input phase, a second phase sum adder for subtracting the delayed reference signal from the rotated input phase to form a resulting signal, and a scaler for scaling the resulting signal to form an update signal. A third phase sum adder adds the update signal to the delayed reference signal to form a reference signal.
