Abstract:
A circuit for processing an input audio signal received at an input of the circuit provides a processed audio signal at a circuit output. The circuit includes first and second conductive paths through which the received audio signal travels. The audio signal is processed such that harmonics of the signal components with a low-frequency are generated in the second path and are admixed to the signal in the first path. In the second path the audio signal is sequentially bandpass filtered, weighted with a correction factor, amplified, limited to a predetermined value, and bandpass filtered, where the correction factor is reduced when the predetermined value is exceeded.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit for decoding an analog audio signal includes a tuner that receives the analog audio signal and provides a sound intercarrier frequency signal. A digital demodulator receives and digitizes the sound intercarrier frequency signal to provide a digitized sound intercarrier frequency signal, and digitally demodulates the digitized sound intercarrier frequency signal to provide a digitized multichannel television sound (MTS) demodulated signal. A digital broadcast television system committee (BTSC) compatible decoder receives and decodes the digitized multichannel television sound (MTS) demodulated signal, and provides a summed (L+R) audio output signal and a difference (L−R) audio output signal.
Abstract:
A stereophonic sound system is disclosed, having a source of stereophonic signals which contain a right signal and a left signal as well as further signals which supplement the right and left signals to convey a three-dimensional sound impression. The right and left signals are adapted to a stereo base of a pair of loudspeakers having a correspondingly small size by means of a modification circuit. Of the stereophonic signals, only the right and left signals are fed to the modification circuit so that they are falsified as little as possible. An improved system for conveying a three-dimensional sound impression is thus provided.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a digital signal processor with a RAM (random-access memory) having its output connected to a first input and, through a first temporary storage device to a second input of a multiplier, with an adder following the multiplier, and with a clock device for controlling data-word transfers. The speed of the processor is increased by connecting a second auxiliary storage device between the RAM and the first input of the multiplier and providing a first switching element via which the RAM and the second temporary storage device are connectable to the first input of the multiplier.
Abstract:
A digital phase-locked loop has a periodically overflowing digital oscillator (DCO), implemented as a modulo adder, and a processor device. The processor device adjusts the period T of the digital oscillator to a nominal period, determined from periodically occurring synchronizing pulses, by comparing the actual phase of the digital oscillator with a set phase at the control clock rate of the periodic synchronizing pulses. After the digital oscillator has been locked to the nominal period, the processor device compares the phases by using a double-frequency signal sequence of one-half line period derived from the digital oscillator output signal. The DCO output signal is fed to a correction device where an address-phase signal, locked to the DCO output signal, is generated so that when a non-periodic synchronizing pulse occurs, the address-phase signal is shifted by one period of the signal sequence of one-half line period with respect to the digital oscillator output signal.
Abstract:
In a frequency modulation system, a modulating signal is split into its low-frequency and high-frequency components. The low frequency component is used to modulate a carrier signal by conventional means in a first circuit and the low- and high-frequency components are used to narrowband modulate the carrier signal in a second circuit. The outputs of the first and second circuits are combined to provide a frequency modulated signal. The modulating and carrier signals can be binary-coded signals.
