Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for receiving high-frequency signals via one or more antennas according to the features of the respective preambles of the independent claims.
- Diversity methods and devices for the mobile reception of high-frequency signals, in particular for the signal reception in vehicles are known.
- high-frequency analog signals which include television programs in particular, with a diversity receiver
- Such a reception method enables the continuous reception and tracking of a television program while driving with the vehicle through different transmission areas, within a transmission area a transmitter is present, which broadcasts the television program at a certain frequency, wherein the frequency of the one transmission area of the radiated frequency one or more other transmission areas.
- This method in which the receiver can receive one and the same transmitter once at a certain frequency and also at other frequencies of different transmission ranges, are known and are referred to as frequency diversity.
- the reception characteristics deteriorate, with the result that the signal properties of the further transmission area improve as it moves from one to another transmission area, so that this criterion is used is no longer based on the previous frequency, but on the other, better to receive the same frequency.
- the transition criterion from the one to the further frequency of a transmitter with the same program content are the signal properties during the transition from one transmission area to another transmission area.
- high-frequency digital signals are also broadcast in Europe, in particular, which are received by appropriately trained receivers. These digital high-frequency signals are likewise emitted by transmitters located in a transmission area, so that it is also necessary here to receive the transmitter (with the same program content) while receiving these digital high-frequency signals during the transition from one transmission area to another transmission area, but by one Transmitter whose signals have been received so far, to switch to another station, which is now to receive the signals.
- the criterion "signal property" is also used as a switchover criterion, and other criteria such as error rate (bit error rate) can be used.
- the invention is therefore an object of the invention to provide a method and apparatus for receiving high-frequency signals in vehicles, in which the currently received program contents are maintained in a change from one coverage area to another coverage area and the change is fast and imperceptible.
- the method provides, on the one hand, for the signals received by the at least one antenna to be examined for their data content and then switched over from one signal received by the antenna to another signal received by the antenna, if the data content of the one signal contains the data content of the signal other signal corresponds. This method is used when only one antenna is available to receive the signals (no diversity system).
- the signals received by the at least two antennas are examined for their data content and then switched over from one signal received by one antenna to another signal received by the at least one further antenna, if the data content of the one Signal received with one antenna corresponds to the data content of the other signal received with the other antenna.
- This method is used when more than one antenna (e.g., two, three, four or more than four) is available to receive the signals (diversity system).
- the use of the data contents of the received signals has the advantage that these data contents represent a particular program broadcast by a stationary transmitter, irrespective of whether this program broadcast by the stationary transmitter is analog or digitally broadcast , If it is now established that the program which has been received so far via a first antenna is better received by at least one further antenna, in particular in the case of a transition from one transmission area to another transmission area, the signals received by the further antenna are sent to the receiver Preparation and playback supplied. It is important here that is switched to such an antenna with which a program is received with the same data content.
- the examination for matching data contents of the individual signals which are received by the individual antennas has the advantage that these data contents are transmitted very quickly, eg. B.
- first antenna comprises one of several antennas, and the vehicle may have at least two or more antennas which constantly receive the high-frequency signals which are then transmitted by the downstream receiver (in particular a diversity processor ) are examined or compared with respect to their program contents (data contents) and signal properties.
- the characteristic of the signals are the signal contents or the quality based on detected bit error rates.
- the data content of the received signals is determined based on data from the blanking interval (VBI).
- VBI blanking interval
- the data content is determined on the basis of the name of the broadcast and received transmitter. This works particularly well for digitally broadcast programs, where the high frequency digital signals also include the name of the broadcast transmitter (e.g., ARD). If such a transmitter has previously been received and the vehicle moves into a transmission area in which the same transmitter is broadcast, this is detected and switched over because of the match to the antenna with the better-received transmitter with the same program content.
- the broadcast transmitter e.g., ARD
- the data content is determined on the basis of EPG data (Electronic Program Guide Data) or SI Data (Service Information Data) or PSI Data (Program Specific Information), so that based on these data or data contents the agreement or deviation is ascertainable. Furthermore, it is conceivable according to the invention that several criteria can also be used to determine the data contents in order to be able to switch without doubt from one transmitter of one transmission area to another transmitter of another transmission area with the same program content.
- a device which is characterized by its design and suitability for carrying out the method.
- Such a device comprises, for example, a plurality of antennas which are arranged in a vehicle. These antennas are connected to a diversity processor, which in turn is connected to a receiver, wherein the receiver takes over the processing of the received high-frequency signals and displays them in a suitable manner (eg optically, and / or acoustically).
- the diversity processor is adapted to switch from one to another antenna, if he receives a corresponding signal for this purpose.
- this overall device is designed to switch the diversity processor from one antenna to another when it itself or, if appropriate, the receiver or other devices has examined the data contents of the received high-frequency signals to determine whether identical program contents are present. If, in the case of several but at least two antennas, the same program contents differ from one another with respect to their signal properties, the diversity processor switches the antenna which has the better signal properties to the antenna.
- FIG. 1 different transmitters in different broadcasting areas
- Figures 2 and 3 switching from one transmitter to another transmitter with the same program content
- Figure 4 shows an apparatus for carrying out the method.
- FIG. 1 shows, by way of example, a transmission landscape that can result when driving through a vehicle of an area.
- the vehicle is in analog area 1, for example.
- the invention ensures that the program (for example the television program ZDF, hereinafter referred to as ZDF) is received analogously in the analog area 1, the program ZDF being used in the transition to the digital area 2 is received further, so the program content remains, but the reception is no longer analog, but digital.
- ZDF television program ZDF
- a program here ZDF, for example
- the invention enables switching as the vehicle moves from one area (analog or digital area) to another area (analog or digital area).
- the criteria mentioned in particular in the patent claims are used, namely the data contents of the received signals.
- the data content is also determined based on contents of a Teletext offer of a transmitter.
- FIGS. 2 and 3 in which the transition from an analog domain to a digital domain is shown.
- the teletext offer of Transmitter ZDF represented.
- FIG. 2 shows the reception of the teletext offer by the transmitter ZDF in the analogue reception mode, specifically for the sake of better clarity.
- the information presented here is transmitted with the high-frequency signals transmitted by the broadcasters, in the form of data combined into data content.
- certain data contents shown in FIG. 2 are examined and compared with data contents which are shown in FIG. 3 and which are received by a further antenna. If it is ascertained that the selected data contents (for example the lettering "ZDF text Wed 12.01.05") match, as is the case in FIGS. 2 and 3, it is possible to switch from analog reception to digital reception Criteria for the switchover (ie the data contents) are those contents which are unchangeable in the individual transmitters in the period of the possible switchover.
- the time indication (14:38:44) likewise shown in FIGS.
- FIG. 4 shows an exemplary device for carrying out the method according to the invention.
- the reference numeral 9 designates an antenna which is designed as a function of the frequency ranges to be received and accommodated at a corresponding location in a vehicle. If only the single antenna 9 is used, the method according to the features of claim 1 operates, in which case no diversity system is provided.
- antennas 9 to 11 are followed by corresponding receivers (tuners) 12 to 14, wherein the output signals of the receiver (not just the data of the tuner 12) are supplied to an MPEG decoder. Its output signals are sent via an appropriate line to an evaluation unit 16, which has a trained for carrying out the method logic, a result memory and a control and correlation unit.
- the output signal of the MPEG decoder 15 is also output to the AD converter in this embodiment. This is therefore necessary and useful, since the output signal of the MPEG decoder 15 in this case is an FBAS signal (but does not have to be), that is analog and thus must be converted from analog to digital. A path from the MPEG decoder 15 directly to the evaluation unit 16 is conceivable as an alternative or in addition.
- the evaluation unit 16 finally also includes at least one output 19 (analog and / or digital) to the received from the antennas 9 to 11 and subsequently processed signals (audio and / or video signals) to be able to play.
- analog-to-digital converters that provide the output from the receivers 12 to 14 analog signals in the digital signals for further processing of the evaluation unit 16.
- the analog-to-digital converters can be provided separately between the receivers 12 to 14 and the evaluation unit 16, but can alternatively also be integrated in the receivers 12 to 14 and / or the evaluation unit 16.
