Abstract

A television receiver includes a synchronous demodulator including a bi-phase stable PLL for controlling sampling of the received signal to produce data. A phase inverter reverses the phase of the data in response to a control signal. Data segment sync characters are recovered with a sync correlation filter that also yields a sign bit indicating polarity. If the sign bit is wrong for a predetermined number of data segment sync characters, a control signal is produced to operate the phase inverter.
