Abstract
Abstract A demodulator for regenerating and demodulating a carrier signal from a four-phase PSK received signal having a data symbol preamble and a fixed phase (one of four phases) of a particular time width using a synchronous detection type demodulating system (remodulation type demodulating system). The demodulator includes an orthogonal demodulating circuit and a remodulating circuit for regenerating a carrier signal which is the data signal during a preamble transmission period from a received modulated signal. The remodulating circuit includes a demodulator having an AFC circuit for detecting a frequency change using a narrow band filter, means for suppressing frequency changes of the four-phase PSK modulated signal received and means for rendering constant the frequency of the regenerated carrier signal passing through the narrow band filter.
