A dielectric reproducing apparatus is provided with: a probe for applying
an electric field to a dielectric material of a dielectric recording
medium; a return electrode for returning the electric field applied from
the probe; an inductor placed between the probe and the return electrode;
an oscillator which oscillates at a resonance frequency determined from
the inductor and a capacitance formed in the dielectric material just
under the probe; an alternating current (AC) signal generation device for
generating an AC signal which is applied to the probe; a frequency
modulation (FM) demodulator for demodulating a FM modulation signal
modulated by the capacitance corresponding to the polarization state
owned by the dielectric material just under the probe; and a phase-shift
keying (PSK) demodulator for reproducing data from the demodulated
signal.
