ABSTRACT:
A method for detecting a locked condition of a demodulator of at least one signal that may have discrete levels defining a constellation of nominal points in a plane. The method includes the steps of defining reference areas about the nominal points, a reference area being separated from another by a band or an angular sector crossing the origin of the constellation plane, and indicating a locked condition if the ratio of points occurring in the reference areas is above the probability for points to occur in the reference areas when the demodulator is wrongly adjusted.
