Abstract
A biphase stable FPLL includes a polarity determination circuit that ascertains the lockup phase of the FPLL based upon the polarity of the pilot in the digital signal. A frequency lock circuit also determines from the recovered pilot when frequency lock has occurred and the polarity determination circuit is responsive thereto for inverting the phase of the incoming, or alternatively, of the outgoing signal, as determined in order to supply an output signal of predetermined polarity.
