Abstract
The invention relates to a data slicer circuit for processing a voltage signal input having two voltage values, each value representative of a value assigned to one characteristic of a modulated baseband carrier signal corresponding to a binary one or zero bit of information, the data slicer comprising first means for detecting a rising transition segment of the voltage signal, first means for detecting a falling transition segment of the voltage signal, means for providing a first serial digital signal output with a binary zero value if a rising transition segment of the voltage signal is detected or a binary one value if a falling transition segment of the voltage signal is detected or vice versa.
