Abstract

A multi-level demodulator has a VCO (32) and two reference frequency sources (50, 41). A relatively long time-constant loop (45, 47) has an input coupled to the VCO, an input coupled to one of the reference frequency sources (41) and an output coupled to the VCO. A relatively short time-constant loop (51, 30) has an input coupled to the VCO, an input coupled to the other reference frequency source (50) and an output coupled to the VCO.
