Digital receiver with phase offset compensation

A digital receiver adapted for receiving an MSK modulated signal, the digital receiver comprising:

• a digital front-end unit configured to provide samples having a phase value (θmeasure) of a down-mixed signal;
• a phase compensation unit comprising circuitry configured to compensate the phase value (θmeasure) by delivering a phase offset compensated sample having a phase value (θsync);
• and
• a coherent demodulator configured to recover information content from the phase offset compensated sample;
• wherein the phase compensation unit is configured to:
• analyze a phase value (θsync) of the phase offset compensated sample using analyzer circuitry,
• calculate a phase offset value (θoffset) based on the phase value (θsync) of the phase offset compensated sample using calculation circuitry, and
• apply the phase offset value (θoffset) when delivering a subsequent phase offset compensated sample.
