Abstract

A transmission control circuit for use in a data terminal equipment receiver section is disclosed. The output of a phase locked loop or narrow band tuned filter input register clocking circuit which includes a quasi-differentiator and full wave rectifier is sent to a divider circuit and the divided clocking signal is then quasi-differentiated, full-wave rectified and used to drive a signal source circuit. The signal source circuit output has a polarity which is determined by the signal output of the full wave rectifier and is integrated and fed back to control inputs of the quasi-differentiators. An offset signal is also provided to the integrator. The result is an automatic adjustment of the pulse width to a fixed fraction of the input bit period.
