An improved encoder/decoder circuit which utilizes a phase locked loop frequency synthesizer configuration to permit both encoder and decoder operation. In addition a sampling filter detector is employed to permit monolithic integration of the circuit and minimize sensitivity to vibration. The sampling filter detector has digitally controlled bandwidth which permits rapid response to reverse burst turn-off. In addition the, circuit includes a pulse adder to implement an energy limited reverse burst turn-off mode.
