Abstract
Abstract A phase demodulator is described, which employs a frequency detector (1) followed by an integrate and dump circuit (2), and a feedback device (4,5,6,7) for compensating for phase noise in the received signal. Means are also provided for using preceding and following data bits to derive the phase error signal.
