DISPOSIZIONE DI RIVELAZIONE DI RUMORE E RICEZIONE DI SEGNALI PER UN RICEVITORE MODULATO IN FREQUENZA

A noise detector and data signal receiver for a frequency modulation system has a first phaselock loop circuit (300), responsive to the received signal, for providing a signal indicative of the noise level and a first stage of demodulation of the received signal. A high speed comparator (330) of the first phaselock loop circuit provides a 90 degree phase-shifted signal which exhibits lesser delay and is substantially in phase with the input. Accordingly, the noise detection capability of the phaselock loop circuit (300) is improved. A second phaselock loop (200), also responsive to the received signal, extracts a voice signal from the received signal. A third phaselock loop (400) responsive to the once demodulated output signal of the first phaselock loop (300), extracts a digital data signal from the received signal. Squelch circuits (120, 121), activated at separate particular levels of noise, are responsive to the noise level indicator signal of the first phaselock loop. In addition, a noise proportional signal is provided to a speaker for providing the user of a hands-free telephone system of which the present receiver comprises a component with an audible feedback of the noise.
