摘要:
In a D.C. restoration circuit for a digital FM radio receiver, in which demodulated signals may be presented at the output of the demodulator as low-level differential signals superimposed on a variable D.C. level, the differential signal paths are capacitively coupled to the inputs of a comparator, and the voltage excursions at these inputs are clamped when the voltage between the inputs exceeds a predetermined value.

Amplifier means 5a, 5b e.g. an operational amplifier, for a phase-locked loop employing charge pump 7 for synthesizing RF channels permits a low supply voltage to be used by splitting the amplifier into two stages 5a, 5b. The output at 5a may be a high impedance common emitter pair of complementary transistors allowing a wide voltage swing and part 5b may be an operational amplifier with resistive feedback to provide gain less than unity and a low impedance output to provide feedback around the loop filter to source the current from charge pump 7 entering inverting input of the first stage 5a. Alternatively, stages 5a, 5b may be reversed.
摘要:
In a frequency modulated digital radio transmission system, frequency differences between transmitter and receiver which give rise to DC offsets at the output of the demodulator are countered for any one data transmission by establishing a frequency controlling or DC level controlling signal during a preamble sequence having a known constant DC component, such as the sequence 10101 ------- used for clock or data synchronisation, and retaining that controlling signal substantially unaltered for use during the remainder of that data transmission.
