An FSK demodulator for Bluetooth applications having no external components
E. Main, D. Coffing · IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems II Analog and Digital Signal Processing · 2002
An injection-locked oscillator in combination with a phase detector is shown to make a very effective frequency-shift keying (FSK) demodulator for Bluetooth applications. The dynamic behavior allows automatic tuning from outside the locking range. Two tuning methods are described which eliminate the need for external components, allow fast tuning and can handle low-frequency data. A cancellation technique is used which minimizes filtering requirements. The demodulator was fabricated in a bi-complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (BiCMOS) technology with L/sub eff/ = 0.25 /spl mu/m. The die area was 0.09 mm/sup 2/ and the current consumption was 0.8 mA with a supply voltage of 2.8 V.
