Abstract
A circuit for recovering the timing reference signal includes a superheterodyne phase locked loop. The recovery circuit avoids the need for a phase linear filter with a large percentage bandwidth and allows placement of the filter at a point in the recovery circuit where the center frequency to be passed is substantially fixed. The recovery circuit thus constructed further allows the bandwidth of the filter to be narrower and tailored to match the modulation characteristics of the timing recovery signal. This further results in a better signal-to-noise ratio into a limiter and phase detector, improving the performance of the phase locked loop.
