Abstract

A clock setting circuit is provided at a receiving modem for adjusting the phase of a timing signal defining the signal sampling instants. The received signal is filtered in two filters to derive a first signal having a phase .phi..sub.1 and a frequency f.sub.1 equal to f.sub.c - 1/2T, f.sub.c being the carrier frequency and 1/T being the transmission baud rate, and a second signal having a phase .phi..sub.2 and a frequency f.sub.2 equal to f.sub.c + 1/2T. The first and second derived signals are combined to derive an error signal indicative of the phase difference .phi..sub.2 - .phi..sub.1 which difference is used for adjusting the phase of a phase locked oscillator which provides the timing signal.
