A data receiver apparatus for recovering digital data signals from an M-ARY FSK modulated signal incorporates a dedicated linear discriminator, downstream of the data recovery process, in the carrier tracking loop. Because the signal modulation components are removed prior to tracking, only frequency error remains, which is employed by the linear discriminator for steering a VCO in the frequency tracking loop. This results in a closed loop step response that rapidly converges to a stable level, and a linear frequency estimation characteristic.
