Patent ID: 8155242

Claim:
A frequency shift keying digital signal receiving apparatus comprising: an adaptive filter receiving a signal and having an adaptive mode for filtering out a correlated ambient noise from the signal by use of a filter coefficient updated in a sequential manner; a detecting portion detecting a new signal on the basis of the signal, from which the correlated ambient noise is filtered out by the adaptive filter; a holding portion holding a first electric power for the signal received before a detection of the new signal; a calculating portion calculating a second electric power for the signal received after the detection of the new signal; a comparing portion comparing a level of the first electric power with a level of the second electric power; a selecting portion selecting the signal, from which the correlated ambient noise is filtered out by the adaptive filter, when the first electric power is greater than the second electric power and selecting the signal bypassing the adaptive filter when the first electric power is equal to or lower than the second electric power; and a demodulating portion demodulating a desire signal on the basis of the signal selected by the selecting portion; wherein the first electric power for the signal includes a first smoothed electric power obtained by smoothing the first electric power for the signal received before the detection of the new signal, and the second electric power includes a second smoothed electric power obtained by smoothing the second electric power for the signal received after the detection of the new signal.
