APPARATUS FOR RECEIVING AND RECOVERING FREQUENCY SHIFT KEYED SYMBOLS

摘要

A receiver architecture includes a selectivity filter (206) for selectively passing a wanted channel and rejecting unwanted channels. The selectivity filter has a filter BT of about one-half the BT of the transmitter filter. A discriminator (208) is coupled to the selectivity filter for converting received symbols from the frequency domain to the time domain symbols. A symbol recovery processor (210) is coupled to the discriminator for recovering the symbols through a two-state maximum likelihood sequence estimation (MLSE) technique in which templates are optimized with a BT substantially less than the BT of the transmitter filter.
