Abstract
A symbol detector for frequency modulated (FM) symbols includes a section determiner, a direction of movement determiner and a data symbol determiner. The section determiner receives a sample of in-phase and quadrature signals associated with a baseband transmitted FM symbol and determines the section value of a unit circle in an in-phase--quadrature coordinate system in which the sample lies. The direction of movement determiner receives the section value of a current sample and the section value of a neighboring sample and generates a positive direction of movement value if the direction of movement along the unit circle from the neighboring sample to the current sample is counterclockwise, a negative direction of movement value if the direction of movement is clockwise and 0 otherwise. The data symbol determiner receives the direction of movement values and decodes the transmitted FM symbol by masking N direction of movement values.
