Abstract: A receiver for a PSK-signal includes a demodulator for obtaining a demodulated data signal which after regeneration is applied to a remodulator for PKS-remodulation of the received PSK-signal to produce thereby a carrier component that is applied as an input signal to a phase-locked loop in which a local carrier generator is included. The reliability of the carrier recovery for low SNR-values can be improved by the generation of delayed and advanced versions of the regenerated data signal, and by providing the receiver in addition with a clock tracking unit, responsive to the received PSK-signal, the local carrier and the delayed and advanced data signal versions, for generating a control signal for a local clock generator connected to the regeneration means.
