A device for detecting the presence of an alarm tone of a given frequency within a received signal carrying digital data in addition to said tone. The receiver comprises an analog-to-digital converter (42) the output of which is applied to a first recursive bandpass filter centered at the frequency of the alarm tone and the feedback loop of which includes a limiter. In addition, an input feedforward loop is provided for adding (at 58) the output signal from the converter (42), as multiplied by a coefficient gamma , to the output signal from the limiter. The output signal from the adder (58) is hard limited (at 44), then passed through a second bandpass filter. The energy of the signal obtained at the output of said second filter is then measured to provide indication of a tone's being received when said energy exceeds a predetermined threshold.
