A frequency-modulated input signal is converted at an adequately high sampling rate into a time-discrete and amplitude-discrete digital signal. This digital signal is applied to a simple transversal filter, having a sloping amplitude characteristic, more specifically having a sin2 transfer function and a constant group delay time, and to a delay device having a time delay which is equal to the group delay time. The output signal of the filter is applied to a numerator input of a divider (6) and the output signal of the delay device to a denominator input the divider (6) whose quotient contains the frequency corresponding to the amplitude characteristic of the filter. In this manner, a frequency demodulator having a very good AM-suppression and an adequate linearity at broad-band-FM is realized. The divider is formed, in accordance with the "pipeline principle", from a plurality of identically constructed sections corresponding to the number of bit positions of the processed digital signals. As a result thereof a sufficiently high processing speed can be accomplished with very little cost. A correction circuit is provided to avoid faults and inaccuracies, respectively, in the case of small denominators.
