Abstract
A wireless communications device includes a receiver, and a demodulator coupled downstream from the receiver and configured to use a continuous phase modulation (CPM) waveform to non-coherently demodulate a received signal. The demodulator is configured to generate waveform banks, each waveform bank having a respective different frequency offset associated therewith, determine a correlation output metric for each waveform bank, select a waveform bank for demodulating the received signal based upon the correlation output metrics of the waveform banks, and demodulate the received signal using the selected waveform bank and the associated frequency offset.
