Abstract
A phase synchronizing circuit, wherein two phase detectors are used in quadrature to detect the phase of an input signal and to avoid hang-up when the phase of the input signal changes abruptly by 180.degree.. The two detected phase signals are then multiplied by a locally generated reference signal and re-combined, so that a synchronized output signal having reduced phase jitter results. This circuit is also incorporated in an N-phase PSK system, where it is used as a synchronizer and not as a demodulator. In a receiver for such a PSK system, the frequency of the received signal is multiplied by N, the phase synchronizer circuit of the invention is then used to extract the carrier (at a N times higher frequency), and a divider is then used to convert the synchronized carrier provided by the synchronizer circuit of the invention down to the original frequency.
