Abstract

A method and apparatus for decoding of frequency inversion based scramblers is disclosed. A quadrature amplitude modulation detector determines the frequency of the tone used for inverting the scrambled signal by determining which of a plurality of quadrature detector pairs, each using a different conversion frequency, has the greatest magnitude difference between the quadraturely related signals. The frequency of the quadrature pair with the greatest difference is the frequency of the inverting tone during the inverting period of time. This frequency information is used to generate a reinversion tone to unscramble the scrambled signal.
