    摘要: A multipath noise reducer detects and removes the individual noise spikes occurring in an interval of multipath noise, thereby reducing the multipath noise with minimal distortion of the audio output signal. The multipath noise spikes are detected by comparing a rectified signal with a threshold signal derived from the rectified signal. When the multipath noise reducer is used in an FM stereo radio receiver, stereo separation may also be controlled according to the detection of multipath noise.

    摘要: An impulse noise reducer detects impulse noise in an audio signal by detecting and smoothing the high-frequency amplitude of the audio signal, attenuating the non-smoothed amplitude according to the smoothed amplitude, and comparing the attenuated amplitude with a threshold. Impulse noise is discriminated from high-frequency audio components because the latter tend to occur in longer-lasting bursts and are therefore attenuated more strongly. The impulse noise reducer is simplified because it does not have to perform intermediate-frequency signal processing, and its sensitivity is not affected by adjacent-channel signals because these signals are substantially absent from the audio signal. The impulse noise reducer can be implemented by digital signal processing, and is suitable for use in a medium-wave AM audio broadcast receiver.

    摘要: An impulse noise detector detects impulse noise in an audio signal by filtering out the audio components of the signal, then comparing an envelope of a filtered signal with a threshold obtained as a moving average of the envelope. Short-duration impulse noise is thereby detected without detecting tone bursts and other fast-rising signals of longer duration. The envelope may be taken directly from the filtered signal, or from a difference signal obtained from a preliminary envelope of the filtered signal, to emphasize impulse noise when distorted audio components leak into the filtered signal.

    摘要: A digital FM demodulator converts a digital FM input signal to a demodulated signal, detects the amplitude of the digital FM input signal, generates a corresponding amplitude signal, and adjusts the amplitude of the demodulated signal according to the amplitude signal, thereby compensating for variations in the amplitude of the digital FM input signal and removing amplitude distortion from the demodulated signal. This reduces the performance requirements of, for example, a low-pass analog filter preceding the digital FM demodulator in an FM radio broadcast receiver, permitting the analog filter to be implemented in a semiconductor integrated circuit.

    摘要: A stereo composite signal including a pilot signal is demodulated by processing input samples to obtain internal samples having variable sampling timings, synchronizing these sampling timings with the pilot signal, and digitally processing the internal samples to obtain stereo audio data. The internal samples may be obtained from the input samples by decimation or interpolation. Since the sampling frequency and sampling timing of the input samples do not have to be precisely controlled, no voltage-controlled oscillator is needed, and the demodulator can easily be incorporated into a monolithic integrated circuit.

    摘要: A multipath noise reducer extracts a high-frequency signal from a demodulated signal obtained from a frequency-modulated signal, and generates a noise reduction coefficient from the extracted high-frequency signal. The demodulated signal is also separated into high-frequency and low-frequency components, the high-frequency component is multiplied by the noise reduction coefficient, and the resulting product is added to the low-frequency component. An output signal is thereby obtained in which the spike noise that characterizes multipath reception of a frequency-modulated signal is reduced with relatively little distortion of other parts of the signal, including the parts between noise spikes. The distortion can be further reduced by replacing the demodulated signal with an interpolated signal during noise spikes before the low-frequency component is separated.

    摘要: A noise removal unit mounted on a car radio according to the invention removes multipath noise and pulse noise from FM demodulated signals. At this time, the noise removal unit removes all of the multipath noise. Also, in case where the generation density of noise is high, the noise removal unit reduces the detection sensitivity so as not to detect pulse noise, particularly of small level, as noise. Comparing to multipath noise, pulse noise is noise rendering a large correction error than multipath noise. Therefore, in case where the generation density of pulse noise is high, by adapting the unit not to remove pulse noise of small level, it is made possible to reduce distortion of the FM demodulated signals to a minimum. Accordingly, it is made to reduce deterioration of the quality of FM voices to a minimum.

    摘要: A noise reducer generates a gate signal by detecting noise in a demodulated signal, and changes the lengths the gate pulses indicating the presence of noise according to the electric-field strength of a radio signal from which the demodulated signal has been obtained. The demodulated signal is modified during intervals indicated by the gate pulses, to reduce the noise. The amount of change of the gate-pulse lengths is preferably increased as the electric-field strength decreases. Noise can then be removed satisfactorily under even weak electric-field conditions.
