ABSTRACT:
A digital signal transmission system in which a pulse code modulated (PCM) signal is retimed in a regenerator using a decision circuit supplied by a clock, the frequency of which is half that of the bit rate (typically 1 Gigabit/second), and is demultiplexed using multiplexers clocked at a frequency half that of the bit rate. In each case the clock frequency is derived from the data stream using a clock extractor. A voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) generating a signal at substantially half the bit rate is connected to one input of a phase detector to another input of which is connected to receive current pulses representing transitions in the incoming data signal. The phase detector comprises first, second and third pairs of long tailed-pair connected transistors, the collectors of the transistors of the first pair of being connected respectively to the common connected transistors of second and third pairs. A first delay circuit providing a delay of approximately a quarter of a period of the VCO is connected between the base electrode of one of the first pair of transistors and the base electrode of one transistor of each of the second and third pairs of transistors. A second delay circuit of the same period as the first delay circuit is connected between the base electrode of the other of the first pair of transistors and the base electrode of the other transistor of each of the second and third pairs of transistors.
