Abstract
To decode a multivalent electrical signal capable of taking up a number n of states greater than two, an electrical magnitude representative of the state of the signal is measured successively in successive pause periods of constant duration T during which said electrical magnitude remains substantially constant. The measurements are performed at constant time intervals starting from a time origin which is determined by performing close-together measurements during a synchronization period in order to identify the pause periods: the time origin is then fixed in the middle of one of said pause periods.
