Abstract
A system for phase division multiplex duplex communication over a two-wire circuit has a master terminal and a slave terminal. The master terminal comprises a modulator and a demodulator jointly connected to a first end of the two-wire circuit and arranged to transmit an outgoing AM-signal with an essentially non-suppressed carrier component constituting a pilot signal and to receive an incoming AM-signal with a considerably suppressed carrier component having a frequency identical to the frequency of the pilot signal. An oscillator circuit is arranged to supply the modulator and the demodulator with a first and secnd, respectively, oscillator signal having a respective frequency identical to the frequency of the pilot signal and having such a relative phasing that at the demodulator the phase of the second oscillator signal is phase displaced 90.degree. relative to the phase of the pilot signal. The slave terminal comprises a demodulator and a modulator jointly connected to a second end of the two-wire circuit and arranged to receive the AM-signal with the pilot signal and to transmit the AM-signal with the suppressed carrier component. An oscillator circuit is arranged to supply the demodulator and the modulator with a third and fourth, respectively, oscillator signal having a respective frequency identical to the frequency of the pilot signal and having such a phasing relative so that at the demodulator the phase of the third oscillator signal coincides with the phase of the pilot signal while the phase of the suppressed carrier component is phase displaced 90.degree. relative to the latter.
