lCiB). Each OR NOR
gate
splits the
phase
of the ircoming
signal and
provides
trvo outputs that
are
equal in
amplitude and lE0 degrees out of
phase.
These
outputs
are used to trigger
the
two J-K
flip flops
(lC7A,
ICTB)
that
sewe
as
phase
detectors and are also applied to
the
[rror
Conection

are
discussed in Paragraph 1-55.
The

is
"set"
by a

at
the
"J"
input and
"rcsct" by a
positive
transitiorr on B'
(sa]ne

J'K
flip flop,
lC7B, is
"set
by a
positivc
transition A'(sarne as a
negative
transitior or1 ,{) at the
J
inpul and
"reset"
by a

input. The outputs
