    摘要: A method for processing a digital audio broadcast signal in a radio receiver, includes: receiving a hybrid broadcast signal; demodulating the hybrid broadcast signal to produce an analog audio stream and a digital audio stream; and using a normalized cross-correlation of envelopes of the analog audio stream and the digital audio stream to measure a time offset between the analog audio stream and the digital audio stream. The time offset can be used to align the analog audio stream and the digital audio stream for subsequent blending of an output of the radio receiver from the analog audio stream to the digital audio stream or from the digital audio stream to the analog audio stream.

    摘要: A radio receiver comprises physical layer circuitry and processor circuitry. The physical layer circuitry receives quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) symbols via a plurality of subcarriers included in a broadcast radio signal. Each received QAM symbol is a complex symbol comprising multiple bits of encoded source information. The processing circuitry demodulates the received data symbols, generates a constellation sample for each received QAM symbol, generates a soft metric for each bit of encoded information of the received QAM symbols using the constellation sample, and multiplies the soft metric by a channel state information (CSI) weight to produce a Log-likelihood Ratio (LLR) approximation for each bit of encoded information of the received QAM symbols.

    摘要: A method comprises performing iterations of a peak-to-average ratio (PAR) reduction algorithm on a modulated OFDM symbol, each of the iterations including: clipping the modulated OFDM symbol to produce a clipped modulated OFDM symbol; subtracting the clipped modulated OFDM symbol from the modulated OFDM symbol to produce a difference signal; weighting the difference signal using a weight that varies across the iterations, to produce a weighted difference signal that varies across the iterations; subtracting the weighted difference signal from the modulated OFDM symbol to produce a modified modulated OFDM symbol; and performing further PAR reduction operations on the modified modulated OFDM symbol to produce a PAR-reduced OFDM symbol for use in a next iteration.

    摘要: A radio transmitter comprises transmitting circuitry and processing circuitry. The transmitting circuitry broadcasts a frequency modulation (FM) in-band on-channel (IBOC) radio signal, wherein the FM IBOC radio signal includes multiple subcarriers grouped into multiple frequency partitions. The processing circuitry is configured to receive input bits for transmitting; encode and puncture the input bits using forward error correction (FEC) encoding; distribute encoded input bits between a main encoded component and a backup encoded component, wherein encoded bits of the backup encoded component are delayed for a specified duration relative to encoded bits of the main encoded component; allocate the encoded input bits of the main and backup encoded components into frequency diverse sidebands of the FM IBOC radio signal; and modulate the encoded input bits for transmitting using the frequency diverse sidebands of the FM IBOC radio signal, wherein the modulation is a type of quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM).
