ABSTRACT:
A frequency-modulated digital signal demodulator includes a digital quadrature filter having n elements arranged in cascade, each delaying the input signal by a value T.sub.E =1/F.sub.E, where F.sub.E is the sampling frequency, a number of channels arranged in parallel with the cascade arrangement of delay elements, each channel having a multiplier for multiplying by a given coefficient, a first and a second summing circuit for summing the respective output signals of said multipliers, the output signals of the two summing circuits constituting the quadrature output signals of the filter and being referred to as reference and phase-shifted signals. At the output of the filter a circuit for calculating the instantaneous phase .phi..sub.n of successive signal samples is provided. In order to provide a demodulator with an improved threshold and with a digital quadrature filter having an identical amplitude-frequency response for the quadrature channels and, with a view to reducing the cost, a smaller number of electronic components than that in prior art arrangements is used. The demodulator according to the invention includes, in parallel with the circuit for calculating the instantaenous phase, a circuit for evaluating the signal-to-noise ratio which is provided with a control circuit for modifying the coefficients of the quadrature filter when said ratio drops below a given threshold.
