Definitions

  • the present invention relates to new and improved apparatus for the transmission and reception of sterophonic sound signal information and, more particularly, to such apparatus capable of operation in compatibility with existing amplitude modulation (AM) radio broadcasts and receivers and AM bandwidth standards.
  • AM amplitude modulation
  • Another object of the present invention is to provide a new and improved stereophonic signal transmitter capable of producing and transmitting within the standard AM broadcast channel band a stereophonic signal which may be received and reproduced stereophonically in a stereophonic receiver or monophonically by a standard AM broadcast receiver.
  • the (A+B) signal is amplified by successive audio amplification stages 30 and 32 and is, in turn, suitably applied, as by a cathode follower circuit 34, to the amplitude modulator 23 wherein it serves to amplitude modulate the frequency modulated carrier wave.
  • FIG. 3 further illustrates, in accordance with the present invention, an FM channel connected to receive the intermediate frequency signal from the common IF amplifier 52 via a lead 60.
  • the FM channel the purpose of which is to recover the (A -B) information from the received carrier wave, comprises an FM detector circuit 62, with suitable limiting action to be described more fully hereinafter, and a deemphasis circuit 64.
  • the circuit 64 has a deemphasis characteristic which complements the preemphasis characteristic described in connection with the transmitter of FIG. 2.
  • the circuit 64 serves to remove the preemphasis of the (A -B) signal at audio frequencies, rendering it a substantial replica of the (A .B) signal applied to the preemphasis circuit 22 at the transmitter.
  • the deemphasized (A -B) signal is amplified in an audio amplifier 68 and applied to a second terminal of the matrix circuit 58.
  • An ordinary AM receiver with conventional AGC action ⁇ such as that illustrated in FIG. 3, does not have a flat input-output characteristic. Rather, its characteristic is of gradual slope, such as is shown by the curve 74 in FIG. 4, which curve represents a plot of the AM detector output as a function of the RF input to the receiver, with normal AGC action.
  • the -B signal from the terminal 124 and the A signal from the terminal are also coupled, respectively, to the control electrode 136 of an adder tube 138, so that the input signal to that tube is the (A -B) signal.
