Definitions
- Circuit arrangement for deriving a disturbance in a received stereo multiplex signal
- the invention relates to a circuit arrangement for deriving a disturbance in a received stereo multiplex signal, the stereo multiplex signal being present as a digital signal with a first sampling rate which is substantially greater than twice the upper limit of the useful frequency range of the stereo multiplex signal.
- Spectral components above the useful frequency range 'of a stereo multiplex signal signify interference to reception of the stereo multiplex signal, which make mostly without further measures as audible disturbances in the reproduced audio signals noticeable.
- ignition sparks from internal combustion engines emit short high-frequency pulses within a wide frequency range, which lead to the above-mentioned spectral components in the stereo multiplex signal.
- circuit arrangements have therefore become known which, depending on the occurrence of such spectral components, influence the audio signals in a suitable manner, for example briefly maintaining an amplitude present before the interference occurred.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a circuit arrangement which advantageously obtains the spectral components of the multiplex signal which indicate interference, with particular attention to the concerns of digital signal processing - for example the lowest possible computing power requirement.
- This object is achieved in that the received stereo multiplex signal is passed through a high-pass filter and that the high-pass filtered stereo multiplex signal is subjected to decimation to a second sampling rate that is greater than twice the upper limit of the useful frequency range of the stereo multiplex signal.
- the circuit arrangement according to the invention has the advantage that the signal indicating the interference essentially corresponds to the spectral components described above, but occupies a lower frequency range. This enables further processing at a lower sampling rate. On the other hand, this signal can be further processed in accordance with the requirements of the respective subsequent circuits since it contains the essential characteristics of the spectral components mentioned above.
- a signal derived with the circuit arrangement according to the invention for suppressing interference caused by ignition sparks can control a circuit for temporarily storing the amplitude of the audio signal.
- a signal derived with the circuit arrangement according to the invention can also be used after suitable further processing by filters and optionally combination with other signals for masking the audio signals and for stereo / mono switching.
- a further development of the circuit arrangement according to the invention is that the received stereo multiplex signal is also passed through a low-pass filter and that the low-pass filtered stereo multiplex signal is subjected to decimation to the second sampling rate.
- the circuit arrangement according to the invention is also suitable for decimation of the sampling rate of the stereo multiplex signal in the useful frequency range.
- the low-pass filter has a frequency response that gradually decreases within the useful frequency range.
- Such a filter has a relatively low outlay and satisfies lower quality requirements in the subsequent processing of the stereo multiplex signal.
- the low-pass filtered stereo multiplex signal with the second sampling rate passes through a filter for compensating for the falling frequency response of the low-pass filter and in that the output signal of the filter for compensation is controlled by a circuit for interference suppression, the signal indicating the interference is fed to a stereo decoder.
- An advantageous embodiment of the invention is that the first sampling rate is 456 kHz and the second sampling rate is 228 kHz.
- Fig. 2 is a schematic representation of the spectra of the signals occurring in the embodiment of Fig. 1 and
- Fig. 3 is a block diagram of a radio receiver with a circuit arrangement according to the invention.
- circuit arrangement according to the invention is limited to implementation using individual circuits corresponding to the blocks. Rather, the circuit arrangement according to the invention can be implemented in a particularly advantageous manner with the aid of highly integrated circuits. In this case, for example, a digital signal processor can be used which, with suitable programming, carries out the processing steps shown in the block diagram.
- the circuit arrangement according to the invention together with further circuit arrangements within an integrated circuit, can form essential parts of a radio receiver.
- a digital stereo multiplex signal MPX1 whose sampling rate is 456 kHz, which is an integral multiple of the carrier frequency of the radio data signal (57 kHz), is fed to an input 1 of the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 1.
- this high sampling frequency requires a large number of arithmetic operations per second.
- the signal MPX1 is therefore subjected to a sampling rate halving at 2, for which purpose a low-pass filtering 3 is required beforehand.
- a low-pass filter 3 is used, which has a gradual drop.
- a compensation filter 4 with an opposite frequency response cancels the resulting error.
- a signal MPX2 is then available at the output 5 of the compensation filter 4 and can be processed further to obtain the audio signals to be reproduced, as will be explained later with reference to FIG. 3, for example.
- the multiplex signal MPX1 is passed through a high-pass filter 6 and likewise subjected to a sampling rate halving at 7.
- the desired signal indicating the interference is then available at the output 8, which is located in a lower frequency range, but contains the spectral components of the upper frequency range.
- this signal is designated MPX3.
- FIG. 2 shows schematically the spectra of signals at points of the circuit arrangement according to FIG. 1 that have the same name as the lines in FIG. 2.
- the illustration is highly schematic in that the amplitudes are assumed to be constant regardless of the actual presence of the individual spectral components.
- Line A represents the spectrum of the MPX1 signal, the useful spectrum of the stereo multiplex signal and - shown in dashed lines - between 60 kHz and 228 kHz being an interference spectrum in the frequency range from 0 kHz to 60 kHz.
- Correspondingly mirrored signal components are between 228 kHz and the sampling frequency of 456 kHz.
- the high-pass filtering of the signal MPX1 at 6 produces the signal shown in line D, which only contains the interference spectrum.
- the spectrum present after decimation at 7 can be seen from line E of FIG. 2.
- the associated MPX3 signal contains only interference-indicating components of the MPX1 signal within the frequency range from 0 kHz to 228 kHz.
- FIG. 3 shows essential parts of a radio receiver, in particular those parts which are required to explain the application of the circuit arrangement according to the invention within a radio receiver.
- the signal received via an antenna 11 is amplified, selected and demodulated in a receiving part (tuner) 12 in a manner known per se.
- the stereo multiplex signal MPX1 is fed from an output 13 of the receiving part 12 to the input 1 of a circuit arrangement 14 according to the invention.
- the stereo multiplex signal MPX2 is taken from the output 5 of the circuit arrangement 14 according to the invention and fed via a circuit 15 for automatic interference suppression to a stereo decoder 16 to which an audio processor 17 is connected. Outputs of the audio processor are then connected to LF amplifiers 18, 19, which control loudspeakers 20, 21.
- the signal MPX3, derived from the circuit arrangement 14 according to the invention, is fed via the output 8 to a control input of the circuit 15.
- disturbed samples are replaced by previously received correct samples within the stereo multiplex signal.
- Such a circuit is described in the German patent application P 43 30 892.9 by the applicant.
- the signal MPX3 also passes to a circuit 22 for deriving signals which represent the reception quality.
- This circuit is also fed from an output 23 of the receiving part 12 a signal AM which has arisen from amplitude demodulation of the FM intermediate frequency signal.
- the circuit 22 receives signals from the stereo decoder 16 which denote the symmetry of the sidebands of the modulated subcarrier. From these signals, the circuit 22 forms a signal denoting the reception quality which, in the radio receiver shown in FIG. 3, is fed to the stereo decoder 16 for controlling the stereo / mono switchover and to the audio processor 17 for temporarily reducing the volume. Details of a circuit 22 are explained in the applicant's German patent application P 43 09 518.6.
