Abstract
Abstract A synchronous detecting device for detecting phase shift keyed waves utilized in satellite communications and the like multiplies the PSK signals by 2 in a first plurality of multipliers and multiplies a plurality of reference carriers in a second plurality of multipliers. The multiplied signals are applied to a plurality of phase detectors. The PSK signals and the reference carriers are applied directly to another plurality of phase detectors. The phase detectors produce outputs proportional to the phase differences between the multiplied signals and the multiplied reference carriers whereby n phase detectors discriminate 2n phases.
