Hi All, I would like to build a receiver, single frequency (978 MHz). The signal is FSK modulated. I see a lot of dedicated ICs but they are for lower frequencies or limited to narrow bands.
Does anyone know of a "tunable" ic that can do this? Perhaps with a SAW filter input?
Find a FSK receiver that'll do what you want, shift the frequency to what you need.

Do you need to implement control loops in software?
"Applied Control Theory for Embedded Systems" was written for you.

You should be able to do that with an I/Q downconverter, and baseband demodulation. Or any of a bazillion other ways, but that's one that comes to mind easily.

I remember, back in the early days of satellite TV, some brands of receivers used an NE564 PLL chip to demodulate the video. IIRC, the IF in those receivers was 40 MHz, and fed directly into the NE564 for demodulation. Demodulated video came out the other side, with a bandwidth of around 6 MHz. Datasheet is at

The datasheet even shows how to make an FSK demodulator. If this is a one-off project, Unicorn Electronics
I was looking at the TI CC1000 but the data rate was low. How about taking the IF output from that device and filtering/demodulating? I have been search for a well defined PLL based demodulator design but, given my lack of experience in this area it is all as clear as mud.
Tim, I will look into using an I/Q downconverter, and baseband demodulator. (whatever those are) ;-)
What about the TV section of your local paper? Or google "TV listings." Right now I'm using the TV Guide website, but I'm not terribly happy with it, mainly because it's so junked up with ads and stuff; I was using the AOL listings but a week or so ago, they disappeared.
'Terrestrial video' was Vestigial Sideband: One side of the AM signal was mostly removed, leaving the carrier and other sideband to conserve both spectrum & power.
