Abstract

PURPOSE:To rapidly and stably restore a digital signal with a simple circuit by connecting in concatenation a circuit constitutive of the series connection of a capacitor with two diodes connected in parallel with their opposite polarities respectively after a waveform equalizer. CONSTITUTION:A limiter 20 constitutive of the serial capacitor 21 and the two parallel diodes 22 and 23 connected with their polarities opposite to each other is concatenated with the precedent waveform equalizer 10 and a comparator 30. Then, the waveform equalizer 10 compensates a waveform distortion given to a digital signal recorded with a magnetic recording and reproducing device in its transmitting system. A signal having a DC fluctuation or an amplitude fluctuation after its waveform equalization in the waveform equalizer 10 is reduced in its DC fluctuation and amplitude fluctuation by the limiter 20, and afterward it is restored to its original signal by the comparator 30. By this method, the digital signal can be restored at high speed with stability.
