I assume you mean some CMOS variant with 74<whis-bang>Cxxx part numbers. I'm not sure why you want to have a huge inflexible board with lots of revisions when a single FPGA would do the job, but you can decimate the 1- bit ADC output by simple counting, then read that count at a lower rate and do your processing on that. If you need a mixer ahead of the filtering then implement it using an XOR gate before the decimation. (Work out the math: A XOR B looks like multiplication if you let x = true represent -1 and x = false represent +1.) -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com

Hmm. True. OTOH, it may be possible to do just the initial decimation part in something little and lightning-fast, and then feed it to a slower FPGA or even (depending on the data rate and hence the required rate of the decimated output) a processor. -- Tim Wescott Wescott Design Services http://www.wescottdesign.com

The main issue there is that you're forced into a speed grade that only a small fraction of the part may reall need, so the cost of the FPGA can be greatly affected.

However, those first stages just need to be counters, which helps. I think doing it in FPGA would end up easier than trying to do it with discretes, because you'll spend all your time hand-tuning the board layout, assuming you can find fast enough logic in the first place. -- www.wescottdesign.com

Derp! Yeah, brainfart on my part. So, yeah, it's ugly. It's especially ugly because now the initial stages of the decimating filters have to run at a very high clock rate. That's doable, but it does affect the tradeoff space. And there are other ways to get the necessary processing gain rather than getting it all from decimating filters, which may allow you to reduce the sample rate. This can be exploited in some radar systems, where there is often a lot of processing gain associated with compressing the return pulse. When I worked at Goodyear Aerospace (eons ago) they had built a SAR radar processor in the early 80s that had a 1-bit ADC, and got the processing gain from the two-dimensional algorithms used to create the SAR images. It worked pretty well. But there's a lot to understand and get right to make it all work. Eric Jacobsen Anchor Hill Communications http://www.anchorhill.com

I thought the entire point of FPGAs was to simplify digital design. But if you are planning to use discreet components anyway, what is the reason to make it digital? There are a lot of schematics for analog demodulators. You can look up any older book, e.g. 1973 "Telecommunication Systems Engineering" by Lindsey and Simon, which can be used to build an analog BPSK demodulator. Regards, Evgeny.

In general one can always trade sample rate for ADC precision, i.e., you can reduce the ADC precision by one bit if you increase the sample rate by a factor of four. So to reduce a eight-bit converter to one-bit, you need to increase the sample rate by a factor of 7x4 = 28. You can then get back to eight-bit precision by decimating the high-sample-rate down by the same factor of twenty-eight, and keeping eight of the bits gained in the accumulators in the decimating filter.

Hello Tim, really thank you for your reply. If i need to design this demodulator with "standard" A/D for example 8bit, I do not have problem...I am a little bit confused about how to implement the filter after the multiplier(mixer) when I use only one bit. I do not want use FPGA but I would like to implement the demodulator with TTL logic Thank you -- -- *Claudio Muzzini*Mob. +39 3484321716 *Perfekt ist nicht genug.*
