A frequency shift key decoding apparatus, having a frequency divider, a
signal frequency splitter, and a demodulator. The signal frequency
splitter has a frequency synthesizer, (n-1) first mixers, n second
mixers, and n filters, where n is an integer equal to or larger than 2.
The present invention can be applied to a multi-function wireless
receiver that supports multiple peripherals. Since a plurality of local
carrier signals is generated by only (n-1) mixers, the frequency of the
local carrier signals can be randomly changed. As the mixers occupy a
very small area of the integrated circuit chip, the fabrication cost is
low. Further, since the mixers are easily implemented using a digital
circuit, the frequency shift key decoding apparatus, and even the whole
wireless receiver can be implemented in a single chip.
