Abstract

A phase-lock loop circuit in a demodulator includes a timing recovery block and a carrier recovery block. The demodulator for demodulates a digital signal including symbols. The phase-lock loop includes an integrator processing a block of N samples to produce an average of the N symbols, and means for supplying the average of the N symbols to the timing recovery block and the carrier recovery block every NT period, where T is a sample time interval.
