    摘要: A method of reducing peak-to-average power ratio in an OFDM signal comprises the steps of modulating a set of subcarriers with a set of data symbol vectors to produce a first modulated signal, limiting the magnitude of the first modulated signal to produce a first limited modulated signal, demodulating the first limited modulated signal to recover distorted input symbol vectors, constraining the distorted input symbol vectors to values greater than or equal to a minimum threshold value to produce constrained data symbol vectors, constraining out-of-band spectral components to lie within a predetermined mask, and remodulating the constrained data symbol vectors. A transmitter that performs the method is also included.

    摘要: This invention provides a method for reducing FM interference in an in-band on-channel digital audio broadcasting system. The method includes the steps of receiving a composite signal including a signal of interest and an interfering signal and normalizing the composite signal to produce a normalized composite signal. The composite signal is then multiplied by the complex conjugate of the normalized composite signal to produce a real signal. Then the real signal is filtered and the resulting filtered signal is multiplied by the normalized composite signal to produce an output signal. The adverse effects of the interfering signal in the output signal are reduced with respect to the magnitude of the signal of interest reducing FM interference in an in-band on-channel digital audio broadcasting system, thereby making it easier to detect the signal of interest. The output signal and the composite can be blended in response to the power of the real and filtered signals. Radio receivers that utilize the above method are also included.

    摘要: A method for AM in-band-on-channel (IBOC) digital audio broadcasting (DAB) uses a center channel signal in a central frequency band (18) of an AM radio channel, the center channel signal is modulated by first and second versions of the program material to be transmitted. Sub-carriers in upper and lower sidebands (20, 22) of the AM radio channel are modulated with addition digitally encoded portions of the program material. The upper sideband (20) lies within a frequency band extending from about +5 kHz to about +10 kHz from a center frequency of the radio channel and the lower sideband (22) lying within a frequency band extending from about -5 kHz to about -10 kHz from the center frequency of the radio channel. The center channel signal and the upper and lower sideband sub-carriers are transmitted to receivers. In a hybrid IBOC DAB version, the center channel signal includes a carrier which is analog modulated by the first version of the program material and additional sub-carriers modulated by the second version of the program material, wherein the additional sub-carriers are transmitted at a power spectral density level that is less than the power spectral density of the analog modulated carrier. In an all-digital version, the center channel signal includes two groups of sub-carriers modulated with the program material.
