Abstract
An electric circuit () for generating a clock-sampling signal (CLK) for a sampling device () comprises a clock generator () for generating a plurality of clock signals (---), a correlation device (L) for correlating a characteristic signal section (LE) of a digital signal (DS) with the plurality of clock signals (--), and a selecting device (MX) for selecting one of the clock signals (--) as the clock-sampling signal (CLK) for the sampling device () on the basis of the correlation by the correlation device (L). The clock signals (---) have the same cycle duration (T) and are phase-shifted with respect to each other. The sampling device () subsequently samples the digital signal (DS) with the clock-sampling signal (CLK).
