Abstract
Abstract A bit synchronizing system for generating a timing signal corresponding to a transmitted pulse signal is disclosed in which the transmitted pulse signal is converted into a signal in which the number of pulses successively assuming the same polarity is limited to permit detection of frequency, the converted signal is integrated, a peak of integrated values is detected, the output of a voltage-controlled clock generator for generating the timing signal is processed in a similar manner to detect a peak with respect to the output, and the clock generator is controlled by a voltage corresponding to a difference between these two peaks, whereby the frequency of clock signal coincides with the bit rate of the transmitted pulse signal.
