Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and an arrangement for providing at least one output signal for a receiving unit.
- High-quality receiving systems or arrangements for FM radio reception in vehicles use several antennas in order to improve the reception compared to systems with only one antenna.
- the advantages of multiple antennas are used by switching between the antennas and forwarding a selected antenna signal via a high frequency signal to a receiver. This method is called switching diversity.
- the desired reception frequency is filtered out on the radio from the reception band, converted to an intermediate frequency, filtered again and processed further, wherein the user determines via the operation of the radio which frequency is to be received.
- the switch box needs information about which receive frequency has been selected from the receive band on the radio.
- the intermediate frequency signal generated in the radio is supplied to the antenna changeover box for further signal processing via a high-frequency cable.
- the document DE 10 2006 006 266 A1 describes that signals are forwarded from the receiver to the switching box via a separate connection, which prevent switching in special reception situations.
- a new signal is calculated from two signals, which are produced by amplifying and / or filtering two different, linearly independent received signals of the antenna, by means of a complex linear combination.
- Phase diversity systems combine the two or more antenna signals after sampling in the digital plane, the complex coefficients of the linear combination being continuously adapted to the reception conditions.
- switching diversity systems discretely select between several signals, even if individual ones of these signals result from the addition of two antenna signals. Switching causes signal interference.
- switching diversity systems with a separate switching box of the antenna from the car radio (head unit) receive an intermediate frequency signal from which the information for switching is obtained.
- one of the signals of the antenna is converted to another frequency band in an antenna-side mixer box, so that after an addition the received signals from both antennas via a High-frequency cables with different center frequencies are transmitted.
- a disadvantage of this method is that two additional mixing processes are to be integrated in a signal path of the receiving system. Except- the frequency conversion must take place over the entire reception bandwidth, so that the additional mixers are loaded with the entire dynamics of the reception band.
- a radio receiving unit can be performed.
- a DDA or digital directional antenna arrangement which is designed to perform a spatially oriented, digital antenna reception, or a corresponding system in the vehicle can be used without high system costs caused by two high-frequency cables.
- the received signals from at least two antennas are respectively processed or preprocessed by digitization.
- each received signal can be filtered, amplified and / or digitized.
- a frequency of a received signal can also be converted.
- the received signals are combined by calculation performing at least one arithmetic operation and thus providing the at least one output signal.
- the at least two independent received signals in the calculation typically become respectively multiplied by complex factors and added.
- the thus formed linear combination of two processed received signals of the same receiving channel is in the antenna arrangement, usually the receiving device, and not, as in the prior art, in the radio before.
- the at least one output signal or antenna signal formed from the received signals can be fed to the radio (head unit) as a receiving unit for further processing via a connection formed as a cable, for example only.
- a connection formed as a cable for example only.
- two or more output or antenna signals can be provided.
- An antenna system or an antenna arrangement with the DDA signal processing is referred to as DDA tuner box or switching box.
- a unit with this signal processing can also be called a DDA antenna.
- an antenna arrangement comprises the at least two antennas, a short feed line and the receiving device designed as a switching box.
- the high-frequency cable can also be used for the power supply as well as for the digital control of the receiver or the DDA tuner box.
- energy supply z. B. fed via a so-called phantom power a DC voltage to the high-frequency cable and forwarded to the DDA tuner box.
- driving the DDA tuner box the use of different carrier frequencies for the transmission of the at least one digital output signal from the DDA tuner box to the radio or to the head unit, the digital control from the head unit to the DDA tuner box and the digital control the DDA antennas provided.
- the antenna amplifier and the precursor of each receive path can be combined or combined, so that only an automatic gain control (AGC) is realized, which is usually integrated in the receiving block of the receiving device.
- AGC automatic gain control
- the at least one output signal can also be generated by modulating the processed received signals on a carrier and / or combined in one channel.
- the AM or amplitude-modulated radio reception which can be carried out within the scope of the method can furthermore be realized in such a way that a frequency of the at least one output signal or a mixed signal from the fixed frequency of the local oscillator or the reference frequency, if necessary by dividing and / or multiplying a frequency of at least a received signal, usually the frequencies of the received signals is obtained.
- a part of an AM broadcast band is converted into the corresponding intermediate frequency with the mixer of one of the signal paths and, if necessary, filtered.
- At least two independent to form the linear combination receiving modules in which temporarily no linear combination is formed are used, with a receiving module remains on the receiving frequency and a received signal for the audio signal, while the second receiving module searches in the background for better alternative frequencies.
- a receiving module remains on the receiving frequency and a received signal for the audio signal, while the second receiving module searches in the background for better alternative frequencies.
- As an interface of the typically designed as a DDA tuner box receiving device can also be further processed signal, such.
- the audio signal can be used.
- the received signal for the car radio or the head unit is an audio source.
- the method according to the invention or the receiving device according to the invention differs from a receiving box, which is located somewhere in a vehicle, receives two or more antenna signals, combines them in an analogue manner and outputs an audio signal.
- the arrangement described is designed to carry out all the steps of the presented method.
- individual steps of this method can also be carried out by individual components of the arrangement.
- functions of the arrangement or functions of individual components of the arrangement can be implemented as steps of the method.
- steps of the method may be realized as functions of individual components of the device or the entire device.

- FIG. 2 shows a schematic representation of a second example of a device known from the prior art.

It is during a receive operation between the antennas 6, 8 out - And connected, wherein the IF and the RF signal can be performed via only one line 16, 18. In this case, corresponding crossovers are then to be provided by circuitry.

Interference caused by multipath reception in the field can be almost completely suppressed. In this case, an increase in the performance can be realized in receiving areas with low field strength by appropriate summation of both signals.
