PERIODICALLY RESETTING INTEGRATION ANGLE DEMODULATION DEVICE AND METHOD USING THE SAME

Abstract

A periodically resetting integration angle demodulation device and a method using the same is disclosed, which uses a waveform multiplier and a periodically resetting integrator to modulate a continuous-time angle modulation signal into a discrete-time signal. The waveform multiplier multiplies the continuous-time angle modulation signal by a square wave signal whose frequency is integer times a carrier frequency, and then transmits the continuous-time angle modulation signal to a periodically resetting integrated circuit. The periodically resetting integrated circuit performs integration during a carrier period to generate a discrete-time angle modulation output signal. The present invention can greatly reduce the difficulty for designing an optical sensing system in the front end without limiting a modulation depth. Besides, the present invention achieves a small volume, high speed, high sensitivity, high reliability, high performance and high condition-adapting properties.
