Please refer to Figure 1, which shows the waveform diagram of the ON / OFF key modulation signal. It can be seen from Fig. 1 that the ON / OFF key modulation signal is a signal having a carrier frequency which is modulated by a binary code. For the transmitter, when the output binary code is low level · bit, the output ON / OFF key modulation signal is low level (no carrier frequency); and when the output binary code is high level, The output ON / OFF key modulates the signal to a high level (with carrier frequency). For the receiver, a stronger or weaker signal is received depending on the distance between the receiver and the transmitter. Then, the oscillator on the receiver will oscillate faster or slower depending on the received signal strength.

體904的第一源/汲極係耦接至電流鏡9〇6的另一 體904的閘極係輕接至參考共模電壓。 由上述可知,由於比較與放大器80 2係操作在次臨界 模式,所以低通濾波器8 0 4中的電容9 0 8只需很小的電容 值,因此可以將電容9 08置於積體電路之中。再者,共模 回授電路5 1 0係用來定義檢波訊號的操作點,所以、檢波 器5 0 6的增益可以設定的較高,並且檢波器5〇6不、會產生飽 和的現象。 接下來請參照第1 0圖,其繪示的是根據本發明一較佳 實施例’在使用共模回授電路之前,超自激式射頻接收器 的波形圖。底下將依據第10圖,來說明在使用共模回授電 路5 10之前,超自激式射頻接收器50的資料接收方法。首 先,錯齒波產生器502會產生歇振訊號iq,由第1〇圖可 知’歇振訊號Iq為頻率近似4〇〇kHz的鋸齒波訊號。接著, 振盪器504會依據射頻訊號}?1?及歇振訊號u,而振盈出振 蘯輸出訊號Vosc。由第1〇圖可知,當射頻訊iRF為低準位 (亦即’二進位的0),振盪輸出訊號ν。%振盪的較慢;而當、 射頻訊號RF為高準位時(亦即,二進位的丨),振盪輪出^ 號vQSC振盪的較快。接下來,檢波器506會依據振盪輪出訊 號V〇sc ’而檢波出檢波訊號Vrect。之後,低通濾波器5 〇 8會 將檢波訊號Vrect做濾波,而獲得資料訊號Vu>f。最後,整形 器5 1 2會整形資料訊號VLPF,而輸出輸出資料。由第1〇圖可 知’由於射頻訊號RF的變化,將會導致檢波訊號Vrect及資 料訊號VLPF發生彳艮大變化,而使得資料訊號vlpf的共模電壓The first source / drain system of the body 904 is coupled to the current mirror 906. The gate system of the other body 904 is lightly connected to the reference common mode voltage. As can be seen from the above, since the comparison with the amplifier 80 2 series operates in subcritical mode, the capacitor 9 0 8 in the low-pass filter 8 0 4 only needs a small capacitance value, so the capacitor 9 08 can be placed in the integrated circuit In. In addition, the common mode feedback circuit 5 10 is used to define the operating point of the detection signal. Therefore, the gain of the detector 506 can be set higher, and the detector 506 is not saturated. Next, please refer to FIG. 10, which shows a waveform diagram of an ultra-self-excited RF receiver before using a common mode feedback circuit according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The data receiving method of the ultra-self-excited radio frequency receiver 50 before using the common mode feedback circuit 5 10 will be described below with reference to FIG. 10. First, the false-tooth wave generator 502 will generate a rest signal iq. As shown in Fig. 10, the 'rest signal Iq is a sawtooth signal having a frequency of approximately 400 kHz. Then, the oscillator 504 will generate a vibration output signal Vosc based on the RF signal}? 1 and the stop signal u. As can be seen from Fig. 10, when the RF signal iRF is at a low level (i.e., 'binary 0'), the oscillation output signal ν is output. The% oscillation is slower; and when the RF signal RF is at a high level (ie, the binary 丨), the oscillation wheel ^ vQSC oscillates faster. Next, the detector 506 detects the detection signal Vrect according to the oscillation wheel output signal Vosc '. After that, the low-pass filter 508 will filter the detection signal Vrect to obtain the data signal Vu > f. Finally, the shaper 5 1 2 will shape the data signal VLPF and output the output data. From Fig. 10, it can be known that ‘the change of the radio frequency signal RF will cause a large change in the detection signal Vrect and the data signal VLPF, which will cause the common mode voltage of the data signal vlpf.

Then, the vibrator 504 oscillates the oscillator output signal VQSC according to the radio frequency signal RF and the stop signal iq. Next, the common-mode feedback circuit 5 10 detects the common-mode voltage of the data signal vLpF and returns the common-mode feedback signal ICMFB. Next, the detector 506 ^ detects the detection signal vrect based on the oscillation output · signal Vosc, and adjusts the common mode voltage of the detection signal vrect according to the common mode feedback signal ICMFB. < After that, the low-pass filter 508 will filter the detection signal vreet to obtain the data signal VLPF. Finally, the shaper 512 shapes the data signal v ^ pF and outputs the output data. As can be seen from Figure 11, since the common mode voltage of the detection signal vrect is adjusted by the common mode feedback ICICMFB, the change of the common mode voltage of the detection signal vrect is relatively small, so the common mode voltage of the data signal Vlpf The change is also quite small 'so that the common-mode voltage of the data signal vLPF remains unchanged. Therefore, after the common mode feedback circuit 510 is made, the detector 506, the low-pass filter 508, and the shaper 512 will not be saturated, and the output data output by the shaper 512 will be correct. The self-excited radio frequency receiver 50 can improve sensitivity. Next, please refer to FIG. 12, which shows a preferred embodiment according to the present invention.
