Abstract

A receiver includes a band-pass filter that limits a passband of an IF (Intermediate Frequency) signal, an FSK detector that detects the IF signal passing through the band-pass filter to generate a detection signal, and a control block that controls a modulation sensitivity of the FSK detector and a pass bandwidth of the band-pass filter, in which the control block controls the modulation sensitivity of the FSK detector according to the pass bandwidth of the band-pass filter.

Claims (24)

1. A receiver, comprising:

a passband limiter that limits a passband of an IF (Intermediate Frequency) signal;

a detector that detects the IF signal passing through the passband limiter to generate a detection signal; and

a controller that controls a modulation sensitivity of the detector and a pass bandwidth of the passband limiter, wherein

the controller controls the modulation sensitivity according to the pass bandwidth, and the controller generates a first current and a second current according to a resistance value of an external resistor for current adjustment, controls the modulation sensitivity of the detector by the first current, and controls the pass bandwidth by the second current.

2. The receiver according to claim 1 , wherein the controller controls the modulation sensitivity so that the modulation sensitivity increases as the pass bandwidth decreases.

3. The receiver according to claim 1 , wherein the passband limiter is formed of a complex band-pass filter.

4. The receiver according to claim 2 , wherein the passband limiter is formed of a complex band-pass filter.

5. The receiver according to claim 1 , wherein the detector is a PLL (Phase Locked Loop)-type FSK detector including a phase comparator, a low-pass filter, and an amplifier.

6. The receiver according to claim 2 , wherein the detector is a PLL (Phase Locked Loop)-type FSK detector including a phase comparator, a low-pass filter, and an amplifier.

7. The receiver according to claim 1 , wherein

the passband limiter is formed of a complex band-pass filter including a low-pass filter,

the detector is a PLL-type FSK detector including a phase comparator, a low-pass filter, and an amplifier, and

the first current controls an output voltage of the amplifier, and the second current controls a cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter of the complex band-pass filter.

8. A receiving method, comprising:

limiting a passband of an IF (Intermediate Frequency) signal by a passband limiter;

detecting the IF signal passing through the passband limiter by a detector having a modulation sensitivity according to a pass bandwidth of the passband limiter to generate a detection signal;

generating a first current and a second current according to a resistance value of an external resistor for current adjustment; and

controlling the modulation sensitivity of the detector by the first current, and controlling the pass bandwidth by the second current.

9. The receiving method according to claim 8 , wherein a controller controls the modulation sensitivity so that the modulation sensitivity increases as the pass bandwidth decreases.

10. The receiving method according to claim 8 , wherein

the passband limiter is formed of a complex band-pass filter including a low-pass filter,

the detector is a PLL-type FSK detector including a phase comparator, a low-pass filter, and an amplifier, and

the first current controls an output voltage of the amplifier, and the second current controls a cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter of the complex band-pass filter.
