Abstract

See full text

The disclosure aims to implement an automatic frequency offset compensation of the frequency between emitter and receiver equipments, in radio frequency modules, with a frequency offset that can be larger than that the receiver can allow, without time loss and extra consumption. To solve this problem, the disclosure provides an automatic frequency offset compensation device comprising a reception front end, at least a filter, an I/Q demodulator for obtaining the I (In Phase) and Q (Quadrature) parameter, an automatic frequency control AFC unit for comparison of a received frequency with the real frequency of the equipment, and a microcontroller and a frequency synthesizer. In this device, the frequency offset is calculated by the AFC unit from the information given by the I/Q demodulator. A coarse detection with wide filter can be used for the reception of the first part of the data called preamble signal, and a fine detection with narrow filter can be used for reception of the second part of the data called useful data frame. A frequency synthesis is made using the frequency offset.
