All functional modules that compose the demodulator are described through block diagrams and mathematical equations. The calculations for the determination of several design parameters are presented. The carrier phase and the symbol timing recovery modules are distinct from those found in the literature for this application and, therefore, original mathematical analysis for the project of such modules are performed. The performance of the proposed GMSK demodulator is evaluated via computational simulation. Besides the bit error rate under several operating conditions, the variance of the estimated parameters by the symbol and carrier synchronizers are measured and compared with theoretical bounds. The main results from computational simulations are presented and demonstrate remarkable performance of the designed demodulator. %@area ETES %@electronicmailaddress antonio.lucena@inpe.br %@electronicmailaddress daving@dee.ufc.br %@electronicmailaddress francisco.silva@inpe.br %@documentstage simone %@group CRCRN-COCRE-INPE-MCTIC-GOV-BR %@group CRCRN-COCRE-INPE-MCTIC-GOV-BR %@group CRCRN-COCRE-INPE-MCTIC-GOV-BR %@nexthigherunit 8JMKD3MGPCW/3EUAPES %@resumeid 8JMKD3MGP5W/3C9JGJL %@resumeid %@resumeid 8JMKD3MGP5W/3C9JH4L %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@affiliation Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas Espaciais (INPE) %@versiontype publisher %@holdercode {isadg {BR SPINPE} ibi 8JMKD3MGPCW/3DT298S} %@doi 10.34117/bjdv6n10-364 %2 sid.inpe.br/plutao/2020/12.07.15.08.03
