Abstract

To optimize the sampling of individual symbols (S0 to S3), a sampling control loop (1) for a circuit (2) for receiving digitally transmitted signals (s) is connected to a timing error detector (3) which determines the respective timing error values (td). To improve the control action of the sampling control loop (1), an evaluating device (11) determines a reliability value (v) from signals (I, Q; Is, Qs; sb, sp; sr) of the receiving circuit (2) and controls the sampling control loop (1) in accordance with the reliability value (v).
