1. An arrangement for filtering and demodulating passband signals which are obtained by modulating a carrier in accordance with a baseband signal whose bandwidth is limited to a given maximum frequency, said arrangement comprising means for filtering the passband signals according to a first and a second bandpass characteristic for generating first and second filtered passband signals, which bandpass characteristics apart from the asymmetrical distortion relative to their central frequency are versions of one another shifted 90°

  • in phase, means for demodulating the first and second filtered passband signals with an inphase carrier and a quadrature carrier respectively for generating first and second demodulated signals, means for combining the first and second demodulated signals, all said means for filtering, demodulating and combining being digital means, the digital filter means including means for sampling frequency reduction for converting signal samples of the passband signals occurring with a first sampling frequency which is higher than twice the highest frequency in the passband signals into signal samples of the first and second filtered passband signals occurring with a second sampling frequency which is not higher than twice said maximum frequency of the baseband signal, and the digital means for demodulating and combining each include means for processing signal samples occurring with the same second sampling frequency.
