The signal at which the level conversion points appear is not periodic, and the input signal (2) is a signal at which the level conversion points appear periodically. FIG. 2B illustrates the case where the input signal (1) is a biphase signal. In this case, at the timing shown by the solid arrow for each cycle T of the biphase code,
The level conversion point always appears. However, at the center point of the code period, the level conversion point may or may not appear (as indicated by the dashed arrow). Such an input signal (1) is applied to the reset terminal R of the frequency division counter 10 and resets the frequency division counter 10 at the level conversion point.
The clock signal supplied to the clock input terminal C of the frequency division counter 10 is 1 / 2N of the code period T of the input signal (1) (however,
N is a clock signal having a cycle set to a natural number equal to the frequency division ratio of the frequency division counter 10. The frequency division counter 10
After being forcibly reset at the level conversion point of the input signal (1) as described above, the clock signal is frequency-divided by N, and a signal in which the level conversion point appears periodically about every T / 4 is transmitted. The output signal of the frequency division counter 10 is an exclusive OR (EX-
OR) applied to one input end of the gate 11. The input signal (2) given to the other input terminal of the EX-OR gate 11 is a signal having a cycle substantially equal to T / 2, that is, level conversion points appear periodically at almost every T / 4.

The EX-OR gate 11 generates a signal in which a pulse rise appears only during a phase shift between the output signal of the frequency division counter 10 and the input signal (2), and outputs it as an output signal.
