Circuits for amplitude demodulation and related methods
A circuit for demodulating an input signal is described. The circuit may be configured to demodulate signals modulated with amplitude-based modulation schemes, such as amplitude shift keying (ASK). The demodulator may comprise a clock extractor configured to generate a clock signal in response to receiving an amplitude-modulated input signal, a phase shifter configured to generate a sampling signal by phase-shifting the clock signal by approximately /2, and a sampler configured to sample the input signal in correspondence to one or more edges (such as one or more falling edges) of the sampling signal. In this way, the amplitude-modulated input signal may be sampled at its peak, or at least near its peak, thus ensuring high signal fidelity.
