    摘要: A voltage-controlled amplifier employs an operational amplifier with negative feedback for setting the gain. A voltage variable resistance such as a junction-field-effect transistor (JFET) is employed as part of a variable voltage divider for controlling the amplifier gain. Resistors in series and in parallel with the JFET determine minimum and maximum resistances corresponding to upper and lower limits for the amplifier gain. Thus, multiple channels of an amplifier can be provided with closely matched characteristics even using separate JFETs in each separate channel which have unmatched characteristics.

    摘要: A multichannel amplifier employs field-effect transistors to vary the gain of operational amplifiers in each respective channel. Gain matching of the respective channels is obtained by providing each channel with a respective DC bias voltage which compensates for differences in pinch-off voltage of the field-effect transistors. The invention permits the use of inexpensive, unmatched JFETs in the amplifier. Close gain tracking achieves very accurate stereo imaging in an audio system.

    摘要: Digital signal processing (DSP) employing a differential mean calculation automatically distinguishes sections of blank tape from program material (such as music or voice) on cassette tapes. Blank tape produces a negligible differential mean value while program material produces substantial differential mean values. Thus, each differential mean is compared to a threshold so that a cassette player can be commanded to fast forward through a blank section of tape. A music envelope detector insures that low amplitude music signals are not detected as blank.

    摘要: An acoustic production system having multiple signal sources and a power amplifier driving an acoustic transducer such as a loudspeaker includes an arbitrator in a power limiter circuit to selectively limit the input level of one of the sources to the power amp in response to an overdrive signal from the amplifier. The input level to the power amplifier is automatically reduced in response to the overdrive signal until a predetermined level of limiting has been attained. Once the predetermined level of limiting is reached, the arbitrator outputs a second overdrive signal to prompt additional limiting of the power amplifier output. Preferably, the arbitrator is included in an interior active noise cancellation module combined with an audio entertainment system for a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle. The audio system also preferably separates the audio reproduction into high frequency and low frequency branches, whereby the arbitrator acts upon the signals output in the frequency ranges of active noise cancellation and the bass output of the audio entertainment system that are most likely to overdrive an amplifier.
