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
An automatic frequency offset compensation method to compensate the frequency offset of a carrier frequency signal modulated by data between emitter and receiver of equipments, the method comprising carrying out a demodulation to obtain the I (In Phase) and Q (Quadrature) parameters after signal digitalization and next channel filtering, calculating the frequency offset from I and Q parameters between received and current frequency of the equipment, and synthesizing corrected frequency based on the calculated offset.
An automatic frequency offset compensation device comprising an automatic frequency control AFC unit for comparison of a received frequency with the real frequency of the equipment, a reception front end, at least a filter, an analog to digital modulator, an I/Q demodulator, a digital unit, and a frequency synthesizer, these modules being assembled in a loop, and the frequency offset being calculated by the AFC unit from the information given by the I/Q demodulator.
