Abstract
A facsimile receiver which may be acoustically coupled to a telephone transmission line comprises a preamplifier for amplifying frequency modulated signals. The output of the preamplifier is coupled to a demodulator comprising a single shot multivibrator and an average DC voltage detector connected to the output of the multivibrator. The output of the average DC voltage detector is applied to a stylus driver which controls the marking of a copy medium by a stylus. A signal quality detector and an indicator are coupled to the output of the preamplifier to provide an operator with an indication of poor signal reception quality.
