Abstract

A demodulator is provided for demodulating a phase-modulated data signal. The demodulator includes a phase frequency detector to output a voltage representing a phase difference between a received phase-modulated data signal and a reference clock signal. The voltage is input to first and second phase change detectors, which are provided to measure the phase difference of the phase-modulated data signal during first and second time periods, respectively.
