Abstract
A signal receiver of a QPSK data-transmission system comprises two noncoherent demodulators feeding digitized in-phase and quadrature components to a pair of transversal filters whose coefficients are read out, during successive keying intervals, from a read/write memory accessed by an arithmetic unit which generates corrective terms updating these coefficients. A comparator in the output of each filter detects estimated phase jumps between delayed and undelayed filtered samples of each signal component and delivers them to a decision circuit as well as to an error detector which also receives quantized output signals from the decision circuit to produce two error signals fed to the arithmetic unit; the latter further receives the delayed and undelayed filtered samples as well as ancillary data temporarily stored in these filters to calculate the corrective terms.
