Demodulator Operation
The PLL itself uses two loops: one for rapid frequency acquisi-
tion and a second for demodulation. The first, or frequency-
acquisition loop, locks the VCO to a noninteger multiple of the
system clock, either 3/2 or 5/2 (using one fixed /2 and one pro-
grammable /3 or /5 divider). This allows not only a choice of IF
and system clocks but also prevents blocking of the receiver by
keeping integer multiples of the system clock out of the IF
passband.
Once locked, this loop voltage is stored on an external capacitor
and this sets the free-running frequency of the VCO during
demodulation. The first loop is opened and, using the second
loop and phase detector, the PLL compares the free-running
frequency of its VCO to the frequency of the incoming IF. The
VCO is then fast frequency locked, and slow phase locked to the
incoming IF. Preconditioning of the PLL to the local reference
clock facilitates the fast frequency lock to the received IF. The
PLL now generates a baseband voltage proportional to the fre-
quency deviation of the received signal.
The demodulator uses a third-order PLL to track the incoming
modulation signal. A simplified diagram of the demodulator is
shown in Figures 3a and 3b. The loop bandwidth and damping
factor can be adjusted by changing the values of C and R as
indicated. An internal pole is present on the demodulator loop
at approximately 9 MHz. For a loop
910 pF and 330
width will approximately scale inversely as the square root of the
value of C. To preserve a satisfactory damping factor, R should
be adjusted linearly with the loop bandwidth. At low loop band-
widths however the value of C offset must also be increased to
enable the loop to lock to the reference frequency during prior
to receive time slots.
APPLICATIONS
The AD6402 is optimized for use in applications where a data
rate of the order of 1 megabit per second is required and the
modulation scheme employed is constant envelope, i.e., FM or
FSK. Because the demodulator uses a track and hold technique
that locks to an externally supplied reference clock, the device is
optimized for use in TDMA systems. If used in continuous
demodulation applications, the dc offset hold voltage on the
demodulator differential amplifier will ultimately leak away,
resulting in the average dc value of the demodulator output
eventually limiting against the supply rail. In a TDMA system,
the voltage on the capacitor is refreshed just before the active

timeslot, thereby enabling a very accurate dc offset compensa-
tion of system frequency errors.
The on-chip IF filter has been designed to provide some rejec-
tion of adjacent channel signals for channel bandwidths in the
1 MHz–2 MHz range. This filter has the benefit of reducing the
contribution of broadband noise through the IF strip, hence
improving the overall sensitivity of the receiver for a given
demodulator output signal to noise ratio.
It is also possible to use the AD6402 in applications where non-
constant envelope modulation schemes are used, such as QPSK.
In these applications the amplitude information will be lost
through the limiting action of the IF strip, but in certain appli-
cations, sufficient eye-opening will be observed in the demodu-
lated signal to allow the use of hard decision bit-slicers as in the
FM or FSK case. The actual performance of the subsystem in
the presence of a QPSK signal will depend on factors such as bit
rate, modulation index and BT employed.
Figure 4 shows the RSSI response to a DECT signal at the IF
port. It can be seen from the plot that the AD6402 can detect
signals below –85 dBm and continues to detect linearly up to
and above –5 dBm.
Figure 5 shows an implementation for a DECT IF subsystem.
DECT is a 1.152 megabit/second radio, employing Gaussian
FSK modulation at a BT = 0.5 and uses a channel spacing of
1.728 MHz. It is a TDMA/TDD system. The IF frequency used
in this application is 110.592 MHz. The AD6402’s flexible
power management scheme enables the part to operate at low
