    Abstract: A digital signal transmission system is provided which minimizes the AM signal envelope distortion caused by multiple digitally modulated carriers in the same band as the AM signal. The system transmits an amplitude modulated signal. Digital carriers for the digital signal are placed both above and below the frequency of the analog AM carrier. Certain digital carriers that are above the frequency of the analog AM carrier have an associated digital carrier that is at an equal frequency offset below the analog AM carrier. The data and modulation placed on the upper digital carrier and its counterpart are such that the signal resulting from their addition has no component that is in-phase with the analog AM carrier. The signal envelope is predistorted to counteract the distortion added by the digital carriers.

    Abstract: A system and method are provided for reducing perceived distortion in an output audio signal derived from an amplitude modulated compatible digital broadcast signal having a monophonic portion and a stereo portion. The stereo portion of this signal is demodulated to produce a demodulated stereo signal and the monophonic portion of the signal is demodulated to produce a demodulated monophonic signal. The noise in the demodulated stereo signal is measured and an estimate of the signal-to-noise ratio is derived. This estimated signal-to-noise ratio is compared with a threshold level which is set at the minimum acceptable signal quality for the stereo signal. Based upon the estimated signal-to-noise ratio, a switch directs either the monophonic derived audio output or the stereo derived audio output as the system output signal.

    Abstract: An adaptive mode control system is provided which includes a transmitter including apparatus for inputting format information regarding the waveform structure of an AM compatible digital broadcast signal. The transmitter also includes apparatus for inputting user data such as the information to be broadcast. The transmitter selects the waveform parameters in response to the format information and produces control channel information. The transmitter uses this control channel information in combination with the user data to produce composite data. The transmitter generates an over-the-air signal waveform using the composite data and waveform parameters. Each receiver includes apparatus for detecting the over-the-air signal waveform and composite data generated by the transmitter. The receiver further includes apparatus for parsing the composite data into user data and control channel information. The receiver regenerates the waveform parameters from the control channel information and folds the waveform parameters into the receiver's detection apparatus so that the waveform parameters can reconfigure the receiver for receipt of subsequent transmissions.
