Patent ID: 7671671

Claim:
A demodulation device ( 1 ) in a semiconductor substrate (SUB 1 ) for the demodulation of a modulated electric signal, the demodulation device ( 1 ) comprising: an input node (CIN) for a modulated signal corresponding to the modulated electric signal, a sampling stage ( 1 . 2 ) for sampling the modulated signal at least two different time intervals within a modulation period, and at least two output nodes (D 1 , D 2 ) for electric signals sampled in the sampling stage ( 1 . 2 ), wherein the sampling stage ( 1 . 2 ) comprises transfer means (GL, GM, GR) for transferring the modulated signal during each of the at least two time intervals from the input node (CIN) to one of the at least two output nodes (D 1 , D 2 ) allocated to the respective time interval.
