ABSTRACT:
A frequency stabilizing circuit for a .pi./4 QPSK (Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) signal receiver has a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) for outputting an oscillation signal whose frequency changes in response to a control voltage applied to the VCO. A mixer changes the frequency of an input .pi./4 shift QPSK signal. A counter measures the frequency of the .pi./4 shift QPSK signal from the mixer. A timing generator generates, on the basis of the oscillation signal from the VCO, a timing indicative of an interval during which the counter is to measure the frequency. A set data generator generates a frequency signal having a predetermined set frequency. A comparator compares the frequency measured by the counter and the set frequency of the set data generator to thereby output the resulting frequency deviation. A voltage data generator changes voltage data in association with the frequency deviation. A digital-to-analog converter transforms the voltage data to the control voltage. A demodulator demodulates the .pi./4 shift QPSK signal from the mixer. An integrator adds up phase shifts output from the demodulator over the interval generated by the timing generator. An adder/subtracter selectively increases or decreases the set frequency of the frequency signal output from the data generator in association with a cumulative phase shift produced by the integrator. The circuit is capable of stabilizing the frequency of a .pi./4 shift QPSK signal receiver even when the mean frequency differs from the carrier frequency due to the offset of data.
