Abstract

The specification describes a method and an apparatus for demultiplexing a multiplexed signal having a reference frequency into its original component signals including the steps of sampling the multiplexed signal at a controllable frequency which is greater than the reference frequency of the multiplexed signal to provide a series of samples, rearranging the samples of the series into different series representative of the original component signals, determining the phase differential between the reference frequency and the controllable frequency using the different series and then adjusting the controllable frequency toward synchronism with the reference frequency by an amount proportional to the phase differential.
