METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PREPROCESSING AND demodulating M-ARY PHASE SHIFT KEYED (PSK) SIGNALS ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A method and apparatus is provided preprocessing and for demodulating M-ary PSK signals wherein the modulation is limited to phase transitions between adjacent phase transitions between adjacent phase states. The method of preprocessing comprises generating (112) harmonics of the modulated source signal prior to demodulation thereby to expand the phase differential between adjacent phase states, and then demodulating (116) one of selected harmonic signals as if it were a simple two or four phase PSK signal. The method of demodulating may be operative in a demodulator which comprises a phase splitter dividing a source signal into two or three paths with a preselected phase relationship among phases, one of the phases being delayed by nominally one bit period, one or two mixers or multipliers, each one of the mixers receiving as one input a representation of the delayed- phase component and as a second input a representation of one of the remaining phase components. The signals provided by the mixers are then combined in a predetermined manner, if necessary, then compared by at least one two-level comparator to provide a digital output. Digital logic circuitry responds to the digital outputs of each of the comparators to map the digital outputs into a single digital bit stream of ones and zeroes. 27513Z.WP5
