Abstract

A receiver is described for delivering a data sequence (ak) at a data rate 1/T from an analog signal (Sa), the receiver comprising: a) converting means (40) for generating a received sequence (rn) by sampling the analog signal (Sa) with a sample rate of 1/Ts, whereby the sample rate 1/Ts of the received sequence (rn) is controllable by a preset value (Pv); b) digital processing means (12) for delivering a processed sequence (yn) by processing the received sequence (rn); c) a first sample rate converter (13) converting the processed sequence (yn) into an equivalent processed sequence (ye) at the data rate 1/T, whereby the data rate of the equivalent processed sequence (ye) is controllable by a control signal (Sc); d) an error generator (14) for delivering an error sequence (ek) from the equivalent processed sequence (ye); e) a control signal generating means (15) for generating the control signal (Sc) dependent on the error sequence (ek); f) a detector (16) for deriving the data sequence (ak) from the equivalent processed sequence (ye),whereby the ratio between the sample rates 1/T and 1/Ts is substantially constant. Conventional synchronous receivers which comprise a Sample Rate Co…
