Abstract: A framing and voice decoder part outputs an error information. An error ratio monitoring part monitors a bit error ratio based on the error information. A sampling rate changing part decides a sampling rate based on the bit error ratio and changes a number of bits of each shift register in the differential detector part to adapt the sampling rate. A sampling clock selector part selects one clock signal among four different frequency clock signals based on the decision of the sampling rate changing part and gives selected clock signal to the differential detector part as a sampling clock. The differential detector part makes demodulation in DQPSK (Differential Quadrilateral Phase Shift Keying). Since the error ratio is always maintained within a predetermined extent, a good voice quality is obtained. Since the sampling rate will not increase to unnecessarily high levels, power saving can be achieved and a consumption of batteries is reduced.

Abstract: A demagnetizing circuit has a positive characteristic thermistor and a demagnetizing coil connected in series with an alternating current power supply and is so constructed that it is possible to suppress the production of a low-frequency electromagnetic field. After the completion of a demagnetizing operation, the demagnetizing coil and the alternating current power supply can be completely isolated from each other, i.e. both ends of the demagnetizing coil can be electrically cut off from the alternating current power supply, so that it is impossible for residual demagnetizing current from the alternating current power supply to produce a low-frequency electromagnetic field in the demagnetizing coil. Also, preferably, at least one end of the demagnetizing coil is kept at a reference potential by way of a capacitor to dissipate any currents which may be induced in the demagnetizing coil by any influence other than the alternating current power supply.
