In a differential-detection demodulator circuit, a PSK modulated signal is compared with a locally oscillated signal to obtain a phase difference between the two signals, whereupon the phase difference is demodulated. A phase detector circuit of the digital type outputs the phase difference signal. The digital phase comparator circuit compares plural reference signals, which give predetermined delays to the locally oscillated signals having carrier frequencies, with the inputted modulated signals. Preferably, a pulse signal having a phase difference between the inputted modulated signal and the locally oscillated signal is produced, and the pulse width of this pulse signal is measured by a counter. By digitalizing the entire phase comparator, it is possible to realize demodulation with low electrical power consumption and simple circuit construction.
