Abstract

A frequency-shift keying (FSK) demodulator includes a digital phase-locked loop (DPLL) based frequency estimator to convert a phase signal to a frequency signal, a frequency offset estimator to estimate and track direct current (DC) component of the frequency signal, and an average filter communicatively coupled to the frequency offset estimator to perform an accumulate-and-dump operation to improve a symbol-level signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the frequency signal.
