A frequency shift keyed (FSK) receiver for demodulating an incoming transmitted
signal comprising: 1) a phase-locked loop for receiving an oscillator reference
signal having a frequency F1 and generating a reference carrier frequency signal
having a desired frequency N1(F1), wherein N1 may be a non-integer value, the phase-locked
loop comprising: a) a phase detector having a first input for receiving the oscillator
reference signal and a second input; and b) a frequency divider circuit for dividing
an actual frequency of the reference carrier frequency signal by an adjustable
integer value N2 applied to a control input of the frequency divider circuit to
generate a feedback signal applied to the second input of the phase detector. The
FSK receiver further comprises: 2) a frequency discriminator that receives the
incoming transmitted signal and the reference carrier frequency signal and generates
a correction signal corresponding to a difference between a center frequency of
the incoming transmitted signal and the actual frequency of the reference carrier
frequency signal; and 3) a delta-sigma modulator controlled by the correction signal
operable to generate a sequence of integers having an average value of N2 over
a defined time period, wherein the sequence of integers are applied to the control
input of the frequency divider circuit.
