increased,
as a

is apt to
occur
because
there

When

is

Deviation
in the

is
called
peak

Since pluse
intervals
of the MFD in
actual
operation
are
4ns, 6/JS,
and
8/^s,
the
largest
shift
takes place
when

Data
from
the
clock
or
data
portion
must
be
differentiated
when
read
from
the
FDD.
For
this
purpose
a
window
pulse
is
used.
In
order
to
increase read
tolerance,
the VFO
circuit
carses
the
window
to
trace phase

in the
read

that
take place
during
