In an arrangement for correcting phase distortion in communication signals received over a line 8 or other medium of limited frequency range, a test signal received after transmission is recorded on a magnetic drum 20 and timespaced reproductions thereof are used subsequently to modify the received communication signals. Signals received over the line pass through an amplitude-equalizer 10, and, with the switch 12 in the upper position, the test signal, which as transmitted is of sharp waveform and short duration, is recorded on a drum 20 during one revolution thereof. Reading heads 31 ... 38 are spaced around the drum so that successive reproductions are delayed by a time T = 1/2W, W being the highest frequency transmitted by the line, and these are fed respectively to multipliers 41 . . . 48, which, when the switch 12 is in the lower position, also receive the communication signals, and the products pass to integrators 51 . . . 58 which may be simple low-pass filters. The signals stored in the integrators are released in succession by transistor or other switches 61 ... 68 which are controlled by a pulse once per rotation of the drum from a battery 60 through a tapped delay line 70, the tappings corresponding to intervals of the time T mentioned above, and the combined output passes by way of a low-pass filter to the receiver 80. Instead of a number of reading heads, the drum 20 may have a single reading head in conjunction with a tapped delay line.
