Abstract
A receiver device comprises receiving circuitry configured to receive a radio signal modulated using frequency shift keying or phase shift keying, the radio signal comprising a plurality of successive symbol intervals, differential detector circuitry configured to multiply a signal for a current symbol interval with a first reference signal and output a first output signal for the current symbol interval, wherein the first reference signal corresponds to a conjugate of a signal for a first symbol interval preceding the current symbol interval and multiply the signal for the current symbol interval with a second reference signal and output a second output signal for the current symbol interval, wherein the second reference signal corresponds to a conjugate of a signal for a second symbol interval preceding the first symbol interval, in which the conjugate of the signal for the second symbol interval has been phase adjusted in dependence on a previous phase decision for the first symbol interval preceding the current symbol interval, combining circuitry configured to combine the first output signal for the current symbol interval and the second output signal for the current symbol interval to obtain a combined signal for the current symbol interval, and decision circuitry configured to output a phase decision for the current symbol interval in dependence upon the combined signal.
