1. A radio receiver for receiving frequency modulated signals on an R.F. carrier signal, wherein the received signals are mixed with a local oscillator signal at the carrier signal frequency to produce quadrature baseband signals in two separate signal channels, the receiver including a demodulator arrangement for the baseband signals, the demodulator arrangement including means for limiting the baseband signals in each signal channel to form square wave signals in quadrature, means in each channel to derive from the square wave signals in that channel a sequence of pulses the frequency of which is representative of the polarity changes in the square wave signal, means for multiplying the pulse sequence in each channel by the square wave signal in the other channel to produce two unipolar pulse trains, the pulse frequency in each unipolar pulse train being equal to that of the pulse sequence from which it is derived, and means for generating an output pulse signal the frequency of which is equal to the sum of the frequencies of the two unipolar pulse trains such that when the output pulse signal is low pass filtered it simulates information modulated on the R.F. signal.
