A digital receiver for a burst-mode wireless communication system, such as
a Bluetooth system comprises a radio frequency input stage for receiving
an input signal and an analogue-to-digital converter for converting the
input signal from an analogue signal to a digital signal. A switch is
coupled to the analogue-to-digital converter and a first signal processor
is coupled to the switch and is arranged to demodulate signals modulated
according to a first modulation process, such as a GFSK modulation
process. A second signal processor is also coupled to the switch and is
arranged to demodulate signals modulated according to a second modulation
process, such as .pi./4DQPSK modulation process or an 8DPSK modulation
process. The switch is arranged to switch the digital signal between the
first and second signal processors to recover signals from the first
and/or the second modulation process. A method for processing received
signals in a burst-mode wireless communication system is also disclosed.
