Abstract: The self-synchronization circuit splits the incoming signal into two circuit paths where the signals are frequency shifted by a frequency signal equal to the carrier frequency so as to provide an in-phase signal in one circuit path and a quadrature signal in the other circuit path. The frequency shifting circuit includes at least a controllable oscillator. The output of a first multiplier which multiplies the in-phase and quadrature signals, is fed to a clock recovery circuit which determines the clock frequency. A second multiplier multiplies the output of the first multiplier with the clock recovery circuit output to provide a signal which controls the controllable oscillator. In addition, a frequency discriminator utilizes the in-phase and quadrature signals to initially coarse control the controllable oscillator frequency.
