ABSTRACT:
AFC circuit for QPSK demodulator including, a circuit for obtaining quadrature related detection signals by multiplying a modulated input signal with quadrature related local oscillation frequency signals from a quadrature phase local oscillator, digital converter for converting the detection signals into corresponding digital signals by sampling them with quadrature related clocks which have a frequency two times higher than a symbol rate of the input signal, frequency error detecter for detecting a frequency error between the quadrature related digital signals using a symbol timing sample value and a symbol intermediate timing sample value in the converted digital signals, first validity determinator for determining whether the frequency error signal is valid or not through a detection of the pattern of the modulated input signal from sample values before and after the symbol timing so as to result a first validity signal, second validity determinator for deetermining whether the frequency error signal is valid or not through a detection of an absolute sample value of the symbol intermediate timing so as to result a second validity signal, and valid frequency error extractor for extracting the frequency error signal as a frequency control signal for controlling the oscillation frequency of the local oscillator when the frequency error signal has been proved to be valid by the first and the second validity signals.
