A carrier recovery system for a receiver of a phase-modulated signal N-PSK, the system including a first pre-conditioning circuit of the signal received (S(t)), with the pre-conditioned signal (SP(t)) having a component, non-modulated in phase, at the frequency Nƒc where ƒc is the carrier used for the modulation N-PSK, and a carrier regeneration circuit to regenerate two sinusoidal signals in quadrature at the frequency ƒc, with these signals being phase locked with respect to said non-modulated component in phase of the pre-conditioned signal.
