Abstract
The quadricorrelator for a demodulator for frequency-modulated signals has a first input receiving an in-phase component of the signal and a second input receiving a quadrature component of the signal. The first and second inputs are followed by respective first and second multiplier units. The output of the first multiplier unit is connected with a positive sign, and the output of the second multiplier unit is connected with a negative sign to the output adder unit. The in-phase component is supplied via a first transfer function to the second multiplier unit, and the quadrature component is supplied via a second transfer function to the first multiplier unit. A demodulator characteristic formed between the input and output of the quadricorrelator cuts the frequency axis at a point where the frequency is nonzero and runs essentially linearly in a sufficiently wide frequency band which surrounds or is adjacent to the intersection point.
