A receiver having a variable threshold slicer stage, comprises a demodulator ( 14 ) for providing asynchronously samples of over-sampled raw demodulated data, a shift register ( 60 ) for delaying the over-sampled data by up to 2 bit periods. Samples in stages ( 62, 72 ) corresponding to substantially the mid-points in two successive bit periods are combined to form a signal (fX<SUB>n</SUB>) to be applied to a bit slicer ( 22 ). A bit stream signal from the bit slicer ( 22 ) is delayed by two concatenated shift registers ( 30,32 ) for 2 bit periods and is contemporaneously applied to a clock recovery circuit ( 74 ) for producing clock signals at the data rate for sampling the delayed sliced signal (Bn- 2 ) at the center of bit to produce an output signal ( 34 ).
