Abstract
A costas loop includes a comparator, and a BPSK-modulated signal which is converted into a binary signal by the comparator is latched by a D-FF according to an oscillation signal from a VCO. An output of the D-FF becomes a demodulated signal. On the other hand, a phase-difference between the BPSK-modulated signal and the oscillation signal is detected by a phase-comparator, and the phase-difference is applied to the VCO via a loop filter. An oscillation frequency of the VCO is thus controlled according to a phase-comparison result.
