    Abstract: An apparatus and method for generating a broadcast waveform is provided which, for generating an in-phase component, includes an in-phase digital signal generator; a first filter for filtering the in-phase digital signal; a first digital-to-analog converter for converting the filtered digital signal into a first analog signal; an AM baseband signal generator producing an AM baseband signal; a first summer for summing the first analog and AM baseband signals to produce a composite analog signal; and a first modulator for modulating the composite analog signal with a first carrier signal at a transmission frequency, thus producing a first modulated signal. To provide the quadrature component of the broadcast waveform, the waveform generator includes a quadrature digital signal generator producing a quadrature digital signal; a second digital-to-analog converter for converting the quadrature digital signal into a second analog signal; a second modulator for modulating the second base-band signal with a second carrier signal; and a second summer for summing the first and second modulated signals, thus producing the broadcast waveform. The apparatus improves the signal-to-noise ratio in analog AM receivers, especially at higher frequencies.

    Abstract: A coherent signal detector for extracting analog and digital information from a received AM-compatible digital broadcast waveform is provided. The waveform can have an in-phase component and a quadrature component. The detector can include a down converter for shifting the in-phase and quadrature components in phase, frequency, or both, in response to a phase word, thereby providing a recovered in-phase output and a recovered quadrature output. The signal detector also includes an integration circuit for integrating a portion of the recovered quadrature output over a first preselected time interval, which can be one digital time frame.

    Abstract: An equalizer is provided for enhancing the recoverability of digital audio broadcasting signal information. The equalizer receives the AM compatible digital audio broadcasting waveform and stores that waveform as a waveform vector. The equalizer then processes that waveform by multiplying the waveform vector by an equalization vector. This equalization vector comprises a plurality of equalizer coefficients, each of the coefficients initially set to a predetermined value. The equalizer then compares each location of the processed waveform vector with a stored waveform vector. The equalizer selects as the signal that vector location closest to the stored waveform vector. Preferably, the equalizer includes means for updating the equalizer coefficients using the waveform vector, the processed waveform vector, and the stored waveform vector to provide immunity to noise.

    Abstract: Bit timing references are derived at a receiver for a carrier modulated by OQPSK. A carrier is transmitted with a constant reference phase modulation during a first interval. During a subsequent, second interval the carrier is transmitted with rotational phase modulation representing binary bit values so that orthogonal components phase modulate the carrier with a predetermined bit sequence. A receiver responds to the constant phase modulated carrier to lock the frequency and phase of a phase lock loop oscillator of a carrier recovery loop. Synchronization at the receiver is achieved in response to a reception of the rotational phase modulation, while maintaining the frequency and phase lock. A carrier recovery loop of the receiver is activated to a decision directed operation after bit synchronization has been achieved. Decision directed operation is achieved by sampling and comparing components derived in orthogonal channels of the carrier recovery loop while the receiver is responsive to the rotational phase modulation. The bandwidth of a filter used in achieving bit synchronization is reduced after there has been a decay of transients in the carrier tracking loop resulting from a transition between locking of the loop and initiation of the decision directed operation. Then the bandwidth of a filter in the carrier tracking loop is adjusted as a function of the quality of the received rotational modulated suppressed carrier.
