Abstract

A demodulation system of a playback device for a carrier frequency signal containing both useful information in the zero passages of the signal and signal break-ins which occur in the playback device. The system includes a limiter for limiting in an asymmetrical manner a signal fed to it and a demodulator coupled to the output of the limiter. A highpass filter is connected between the limiter and the demodulator so as to couple the output signal from the limiter to the demodulator. The highpass filter substantially passes only the useful information portion of the carrier signal and suppresses any break-ins introduced into the signal.
