Abstract

A circuit arrangement for facilitating reception of direct current signals in telegraph or data transmission systems is described. A threshold circuit is disposed in the receive line; the threshold circuit has two threshold values, one of which is close in current value to the cut-off of the signal element, and the other of which is close in current value to the signal level of a signal element. A timer is switched into the circuit by a signal provided over a logic circuit when a first threshold level is undershot in a descending signal transition and when a second threshold level is exceeded during an ascending signal transition. The timer emits a clock pulse to an output circuit, which has been primed by an input circuit, the operation of which are controlled by signals from the outputs of the threshold circuit.
