BPSK Stripper circuit

Got snake bit trying to buy AD633's on ebay, apparently I got rebadged
RC4200s instead and one of them blew up the power supply in my test
circuit.  The guy is arguing about refunding me.

Anyway, I am looking at using a XOR gate as a frequency doubler, but can
anyone say if this circuit can strip BPSK with the way that it does the
frequency multiplication?

Matt I can't say it will strip BPSK. But it will double the input frequency
if the RC time constant is half the incoming 1/2 cycle.
Also watch out for noise. Depending on the distance to WWVB it can really
mess up simple circuits.

Hi

The only issue I see is that it looks like it “drops out” at the phase shift point. Past that, it appears
to roughly do what you want to do.  If the drop out is really there, will convert the PM to AM. Worst case
it might glitch at this point and throw off the divider. (which would be a problem).
