Abstract

Zur Reduzierung der Nachbarkanalstörungen in FM-Sendernetzen wird vorgeschlagen, daß die Leistung jedes Senders in Abhängigkeit von dem Pegel des gesendeten NF-Signals gesteuert wird, derart, daß die Sendeleistung mit zunehmender Aussteuerung der Modulation verringert wird.To reduce adjacent channel interference in FM transmitter networks, it is proposed that the power of each transmitter be controlled as a function of the level of the transmitted LF signal, in such a way that the transmission power is reduced as the modulation level increases.

Description

tragungsqualität z. B. mit Hilfe von Kompander-Verfahren sind bereits untersucht worden.wear quality z. B. with the help of compander method have already been investigated.

Die Qualitätsverbesserung durch die Kompandierung ist darauf zurückzuführen, daß Geräusche dann reduziert werden, s'snn sie tatsächlich stören, d. h. wenn sie nicht durch en» starke Nutzmodulation verdeckt werden. Bei Vollaussteuerung werden die übertragungsbedingten Störungen (Rauschen, Interferenzen) nicht abgesenkt The improvement in quality through companding is due to the fact that noise is then reduced if they are actually disturbing, d. H. If you are not covered by strong useful modulation. At full level, the transmission-related disturbances (noise, interference) are not reduced

subjektiv nicht oder nur schwach wahrgenommen (sog. Verdeckung), so daß bei großen Modulationspegeln übertragungsbedingte Störungen weniger stark unterdrückt zu werden brauchen, mit der Folge, daß die angebotene HF-Leistung reduziert werden kann. Obwohl man zunächst erwarten sollte, daß durch diese Maßnahme der Empfang verschlechtert wird, zeigt sich, daß diese Verschlechterung subjektiv nicht wahrnehmbar ist Die durch die Veränderung der Sendeleistung her-Subjectively not or only weakly perceived (so-called masking), so that with high modulation levels Transmission-related interference need to be suppressed less strongly, with the result that the offered RF power can be reduced. Although one should initially expect by this measure the reception is deteriorated, it turns out that this deterioration is subjectively imperceptible is the result of the change in the transmission power

Bei bekannten Kompander-Verfahren (Rundfunk- 25 vorgerufenen HF-Pegelschwankungen am Empfänger technische Mitteilungen, 1978, Heft 2, S. 63—74) wird führen ebenfalls zu keinen Qualitätseinbußen, da die das Modulationssignal (z. B. NF-Signale) kompandiert UKW-Empfänger ge,jenüber diesen Schwankungen un-Der Gewinn an Übertragungsqualität wird dadurch er- empfindlich sind. Der wesentliche Vorteil der Erfindung zielt, daß bei niedrigen NF-Pegeln das Modulationssi- beruht darauf, daß infolge der Abregelung der HF-Sengnal angehoben wird (Kompression). Dadurch weisen 30 deleistung bei großen Modulationspegeln die Störwirdiese Signale ei^en größeren Abstand zu den übertra- kung auf die Nachbarkanäle beträchtlich reduziert wird, gungsbedingien Störungen auf. Erst mit der empfangsseitigen Absenkung der HF-Signs<e bei kleinen Pegeln
(Expansion) wird eine Reduzierung der hörbaren Störgeräusche erreicht
In the case of known compander methods (radio frequency fluctuations at the receiver technical messages, 1978, No. 2, pp. 63-74), quality is not impaired either, since the modulation signal (e.g. LF signals) is companded VHF receivers are sensitive to these fluctuations. The main advantage of the invention is that, at low LF levels, the modulation signal is based on the fact that the HF signal is increased (compression) as a result of the down-regulation. This means that if the modulation levels are high, the interference will result in these signals being considerably reduced if the distance to the transmission to the adjacent channels is greater, due to interference. Only with the lowering of the RF signals on the receiving side at low levels
(Expansion) a reduction in audible background noise is achieved

Die bekannten Kompanderverfahren sind indessen mit bestehenden Empfangsanlagen nicht vollständig kompatibel, da sie empfangsseitige Zusatzeinrichtungen (z. B. Expander) benötigen.The known compander methods, however, are not complete with existing receiving systems Compatible, as they require additional equipment on the receiving side (e.g. expanders).

Die Aufgabe der Erfindung besteht darin, ein Verfahren anzugeben, welches das Modulationssignal unbeeinflußt läßt und die Qualitätsverbesserung über eine echte Reduzierung der übertragungsbedingten Störungen erreicht. The object of the invention is to provide a method which does not affect the modulation signal and the quality improvement is achieved through a real reduction in the transmission-related interference.

Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß durch die kennzeichnenden Merkmale des Patentanspruchs gelöst. According to the invention, this object is achieved by the characterizing features of the patent claim.

Dem Erfindungsgedanken liegen folgende Überlegungen zugrunde:The idea of the invention is based on the following considerations:

Die Grenzen der Versorgungsgebiete der UKW-Sender in der BRD sind in erster Linie durch Gleich- und Nächbafkänalstörungen gegeben. Erfahrungsgemäß spielen dabei die Störungen von Sendern mit relativ kleinem Frequenzabstand die entscheidende Rolle. In diesem Bereich aber hängt die Störwirkung von der Aussteuerung der Modulation des Störsenders ab. Insbesondere dann, wenn der Störsender vom Nutzsender Bei Anwendung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens auf ein Sendernetz ergibt sich ein beträchtlicher Gewinn an ÜbertragungsqualitätThe boundaries of the coverage areas of the VHF transmitters in the FRG are primarily by equal and Next channel disturbances given. Experience has shown that the interference from transmitters has a relative effect small frequency spacing plays a decisive role. In this area, however, the disruptive effect depends on the Control of the modulation of the jammer. In particular if the jammer is from the useful transmitter When the method according to the invention is applied to a transmitter network, there is a considerable gain Transmission quality

Als weiterer Vorteil wird durch die vorgeschlagene Leistungssteuerung der Leistungsverbrauch der Sender reduziert. Die Einsparungen sind von der Programmen abhängig und liegen zwischen 10°/o und 20%.Another advantage of the proposed power control is the power consumption of the transmitters reduced. The savings depend on the program and are between 10% and 20%.

Die Figur zeigt eine Anordnung -j'ir Durchführung des erfindungsgemäßen Verfahrens.The figure shows an arrangement for implementation of the method according to the invention.

In der Figur ist mit 10 eine NF-Signalquelle bezeichnet, die beispielsweise durch ein Tonstudio gebildet ist. Das stereofone NF-Signal am Ausgang der Quelle 10 umfaßt eine Linksinformation L und eine Rechtsinformation R. Die L- und /?-Signale werden in dem Sender 20 zunächst einem Stereocoder 21 zugeführt, welcher in bekannter Weise aus den L- und Λ-Signalen ein Summen- und Differenzsignal bildet, welche in Form eines Multiplexsignales MPX einem FM-Modulator 22 zuge-In the figure, 10 denotes an LF signal source, which is formed, for example, by a sound studio. The stereophonic LF signal at the output of the source 10 comprises left information L and right information R. The L and /? Signals are first fed in the transmitter 20 to a stereo encoder 21, which is made from the L and Λ signals in a known manner a sum and difference signal forms which Certified in the form of a multiplex signal MPX an FM modulator 22

welche die Sendeantenne 24 speist.which feeds the transmitting antenna 24.

Der insoweit beschriebene Aufbau der Anordnung gemäß der Figur ist bekannt.The structure of the arrangement according to the figure described so far is known.

Wesentlich ist vielmehr, daß die beiden Ausgangskanäle der NF-Signalquelle 10 des weiteren mit einem Pegeldetektor 25 verbunden sind, welcher beispielsweise die L- und /?-Signale abtastet und speichert oder integriert, um ein Regelsignal für einen Leistungsregler 26 zu erzeugen. Der Leistungsregler ist mit einem Steuereingang der HF-Leistungs-Endstufe 23 verbunden, um in Abhängigkeit von dem Pegel am Ausgang der NF-Signalquelle 10 die Ausgangsleistung des Senders 20 zu steuern.Rather, it is essential that the two output channels of the LF signal source 10 are also connected to a level detector 25 which, for example, scans and stores or integrates the L and /? Signals in order to generate a control signal for a power regulator 26. The power regulator is connected to a control input of the HF power output stage 23 in order to control the output power of the transmitter 20 as a function of the level at the output of the LF signal source 10.
