Abstract

A demodulator is made compact, and with a simple circuit arrangement, and also having a better bit error rate characteristic. A timing phase synchronization detecting circuit 219 judges any one of the following two conditions based upon baseband phase data 202, i.e., an UNLOCK (timing phase asynchronous) condition, and a LOCK (timing phase synchronous) condition. Based upon the judgement result of the timing phase synchronization detecting circuit 219, in a timing recovering means 221, a frequency range of a PLL (phase synchronization loop) is variable, whereas the number of data entered within 1 symbol time is variable in a frequency synchronizing means 222 and a carrier recovering means 223. A data demodulating means 224 outputs demodulation data 206 in response to baseband phase data 202 and a recovery carrier signal 205.
