Abstract
A demodulation circuit for demodulating an FSK signal comprising a long bit having a long bit period and a short bit having a short bit period comprises a bit boundary detection section for detecting a bit boundary timing of each bit, and a bit determination section for making determination for each bit such that a particular bit is determined to be a long bit when a threshold time period has passed during a period from a bit boundary timing at a leading end of the bit to a bit boundary timing at a trailing end of the bit, and a particular bit is determined to be a short bit when the threshold time period has not passed during a period from a bit boundary timing at a leading end of the bit to a bit boundary timing at a trailing end of the bit.
