A communication device according to the present invention detects a
frequency-hopped signal in an environment including sinusoidal
interference. The frequency-hopped signal includes a frequency shift
keying (FSK) sequence, where the sequence alternates between frequencies
shifted from the carrier signal or hop frequency by positive and negative
frequency offsets. The communication device of the present invention uses
independent detection paths for each of the shifted frequencies. In the
detection path for the upper frequency (e.g., positive frequency shift),
a series of filters suppresses signals in the lower frequency band (e.g.,
negative frequency shift), while the detection path for the lower
frequency employs a separate series of filters to suppress signals in the
upper frequency band. The filter outputs from each detection path are
separately examined to detect the presence of an expected signal.
